Hello Freeride families:
We are excited to be starting the 13-14 season this coming weekend at Whiteface with lots of terrain and good snow conditions. Whiteface has been doing a great job getting trails open and ready for skiing and riding. As of today we have Excelsior, Essex, Lower Northway, Connector, Lower Cloudspin, Broadway, Boreen, Upper & Lower Valley, Danny's Bridge, Brookside, and of course, Mixing Bowl. The Danny's/Brookside Park has three jumps and a half dozen rails or more so there will be alot to play on. Rumor has it Approach to Mountain Run may be ready for the weekend too.
Below are a few details for this weekend:
Saturday, December 7th: Athlete pass pick-up and annual staff meetings. Please come and pick-up passes and freeride on your own while the coaching staff participates in staff meetings and CPR/First Aid training.
Sunday, December 8th: First official day of Weekend Program - Those athletes registered for the Intro program, which is usually Saturday only, are encouraged to attend!
All Freeride athletes should be geared up and ready to go at our meeting spot (uphill of the ramp) outside the NYSEF building at 8:30am. We will have a brief introduction with coaches and go over a few rules and expectations, then it's time to shred!
After the kids are on the hill, at approximately 9am, I will be holding a parent information session inside the NYSEF building on the main floor to discuss our program, athlete goals, competition opportunities, and answer any questions you might have. I've attached a .pdf with our program information so you can hopefully take a look beforehand and also to have as a reference throughout the season. You can also find the info via this link.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
Mike Kirchner
Freeride Program Director
