New England Nordic Ski Association race will benefit Roy Varney Memorial Fund
CARRABASSETT VALLEY, Maine – The Sugarloaf Outdoor Center will be the hub of New England Nordic ski racing when the New England Nordic Ski Association (NENSA) hosts its Eastern Cup Opener, December 21-22, 2019.
The NENSA Eastern Cup is the premier Nordic racing circuit in New England, drawing elite skiers from the eastern United States and Canada, and is a qualifying event for the Junior National Championships. This year’s Eastern Cup Opener will be held in memory of Roy Varney, a State Champion Nordic skier from Turner, ME, who passed away in July 2019.
The race is expected to draw 300-400 racers from throughout New England and Eastern Canada, including a large contingent of Maine athletes. All registration fees for Maine racers will be matched with a donation from an anonymous donor to the Roy Varney Memorial Fund.
“This event is truly an exciting opportunity for us to showcase the amazing Sugarloaf Outdoor Center facility to the best Nordic skiers in New England, and pay tribute to Roy at the same time,” Race Director Brenna Herridge said.
Gould is hosting a FREE race at 2pm on Saturday February 1st. It will be a 2-lap 5k skate race right on campus with rolling terrain, jumps, bridge crossings, and other agility obstacles! The event is open for any high school skiers (and their coaches!) and we will have a bonfire, hot drinks, and snacks for afterwards!
