Okay, so I haven't posted since last Spring. That's because there was no hope of snow...until now! The season is almost upon us and it's time to get the gear in order (or order new gear), update your memberships, and start setting your competitve goals.
The USSA Eastern Freestyle schedule is not up yet but will be soon so all you freestyle skiers keep an eye on their site. Here you'll find info on events all over the East including Aerials, Moguls, Slopestyle, Halfpipe, and Big Air.
The USASA schedule will be up very soon but tentative dates are already included on NYSEF's google snowboard calendar. New for this year, Railjams have been added as an official discipline! That means you can accumulate points and head to Copper next Spring to become the first Rail Champion in USASA's history. Also, the first railjam will be a qualifier to represent the Adirondacks at the 2nd annual USASA X-Games exhibition in January. If you're joining or renewing, don't forget to do it before Oct 31st so you can save $10.
The Empire State Games are back at Whiteface too with Skier & Boarder Cross. Oh yeah, and we added Slopestyle this year! About time, right? Skiers and Boarders 13 years old and up are eligible to compete as long as you're a current member of one of the three New York USASA series. They're still updating their site but know that the games will happen Feb 2-5 and you can always get more info by contacting me at mikek@nysef.org .
So I know that's alot of info to keep track of but ,before you know it, we'll be on snow ,so get it all figured out now while you still have time!
