The first USASA Adirondack Railjam of the season took place on Saturday, December 20th -the Deck the Rails Railjam.  We had great showing from the NYSEF crew with tons of podiums.  Alumnus, Alex Higgins-Lopez took the top honors in Open Skier Men,  Anthony Russo - 2nd in 14 & over Snowboard Men, Brian Gardiner, Gavin Fritz, & Avery Higgins-Lopez went 1-2-3 in Skier Men 14 & over, Maddie Prichard took 1st in Skier Girls 10-13, Alex Page & Rodger Jakubowski went 1-2 in Snowboard Boys 10-13, and Bryant Ward, Elias Ford, & James Ward went 1-2-3 in Skier Boys 10-13.

A big thanks goes out to the Whiteface Terrain Park crew and Whiteface Mountain for the awesome set-up right outside the NYSEF Training Center.

Aside from the competition, our free riders took advantage of great conditions and kicked off the Holidays with some great training.  Though a few schools were still in session through Tuesday and some warmer temps have settled in for a few days we expect the Freeride crew to be out in full force following Christmas.

Remember, in addition to the weekends we will have training Friday 12/26, Tuesday 12/30, Wednesday 12/31, and Friday 1/2/15.  

Also, we will be having an all-program Pot Luck on New Year's Eve Wednesday 12/31.  Sign-up at the front desk and let us know what you're able to bring.

And lastly, I've added a couple more dates to the Volunteer Spot links to the right side of the blog.  we've got a ton of spots open for our USSA Mogul event - Whiteface Bumps & Jumps - plus more USASA events.  Click on the link, choose your spot, and work off that work deposit or earn lift vouchers for future use.

In the meantime, have a Happy Holiday!
