Happy Holidays, NYSEF Friends and Family!

It's no surprise that things have been off to a rocky start with Mother Nature dealing us some unseasonable weather. The Whiteface Mountain management has done everything they can to keep things going, and have done a great job! The snowmaking crew has been excellent at keeping up with demand and the skiing has been great for the most part. They are gaining every day here at Whiteface!

Many of our athletes have joined our partner schools (National Sports Academy and Northwood School) at camps in Colorado before and after Thanksgiving. You can check out their blogs for pictures and videos here:

Many races that were scheduled for December have been postponed, cancelled or re-scheduled. But some of our athletes have raced and posted some great results. Three of our J2 Men from National Sports Academy swept the J2 podium at the December Canadian FIS GS at Tremblant. Check out their podium photo:

All for now, hope for snow and see you on the slopes!

Saas Fee - Trip to Zermatt




Today we trained with another ski academy from Norway - it was great meeting and getting to know another team. The snow is excellent!

After skiing we took a trip to Zermatt, about an hour away. Check out these pictures of the village and the famous Matterhorn.

All for now - two more days and headed home!
