March 24-30, 2012, USSA SuperTour Finals and 30/50k National Championships , , ()
Event Info: Save the date as we close the North American elite racing season with the USSA SuperTour Finals and distance nationals!
Saturday, March 24 – 2.5k/3.5k freestyle prologue
Sunday, March 25 – 10/15k classic mass start
Tuesday, March 27 – Classic Sprint
Wednesday, March 28 – 6k freestyle hill climb, pursuit start based on general classification.
Friday, March 30 – US Distance National Championships: 30/50k freestyle mass start
As was the case the past several years, the racing from March 24-28 will be scored in the tour format, with times from each race being scored cumulatively to determine your standing over the four stages. Wednesday’s closing hill climb will be started as a pursuit based on the time gaps in the overall standings at that point. First person across the line at the top of the hill wins.
This week of high level racing will conclude with the 30/50k US National Championships. While separate from the rest of the week’s racing, this mass start race is an excellent way to cap the season for both racers and spectators alike.
Details around start times, courses, and so forth are being finalized – please check the Craftsbury website for more details. We will also be launching a website specific to this event as the fall progresses, full of all sorts of information on all these points and more.

February 12, 2012, Maine Huts 4th Annual Classic Ski Marathon Carrabassett Valley Area / Sugarloaf Outdoor Center, Carrabassett Valley, ME ()
Event Info: Note that race day is Sunday! Classic technique only. Our 4th Annual Ski Marathon and Tour is shaping up to be our best yet. We're adding additional focus this year to the Tour by adding a Tour Division for both the 20k and 40k. Tourers will be differentiated with a different bib and will have flexible start times and will not be timed.
40k participants again have a package option available that includes dinner and lodging at Flagstaff Lake Hut on Sat, 2.11, pre-race breakast on the 12th, entry fees and post-race lunch. There are only 40 spaces available for this option and will fill up very quickly.
Due to the popularity of it last year, we are again offering a 60K distance (only available with a lodging package). Due to the remote starting point, interested participants will need to meet at the Sugarloaf Outdoor Center on Saturday 2.11 at noon to catch a shuttle to a point where they will need to ski 8 miles in to Grand Falls Hut and take advantage of the fantastic lodging at Grand Falls Hut on Saturday night. Your gear will be shuttled in to the hut on Saturday for you and out of the hut on race day and taken to the Sugarloaf Outdoor Center for p/up following the race. This is all the same as last year. Only 30 spaces available for this option and they will fill quickly.
Registration: We have a team entry fee of $25 per person for teams of 6 or more people. This is for HS and College teams. Contact us to register. 20K and 40K participants who do not take the lodging option will meet at the Sugarloaf Outdoor Center on race day and be shuttled to the starting points. Gear bags will then be taken back to the Outdoor Center for post-race p/up. Course map and more race-specific info will be available on the MH&T website as the race date approaches. We hope you can join us for the 4th edition of this great event. Call 207-265-2400 for more information about the lodging package, the team option or anything else related to the race or Maine Huts & Trails.

* Kids should come to start line with warmups on, then we'll give time to strip down - let's keep them warm
* In the spirit of Duathlons, everyone should do the classic/skate switch, even though some might be able to double pole the classic segment with skate skis

December 10-11, 2011, CANCELLED Introduction to Performance Skiing and Racing Technique Trapp Family Nordic Ski Center, Stowe, VT ()
Event Info: ***Due to lack of snow, this clinic has been cancelled for this weekend. But! Although there is not enough snow to hold a two day clinic with 40ish people, there will likely be snow at Trapps this weekend (a mix of human-made and natural) and there will likely be limited terrain to get out a ski a bit. So! If you have made a room reservation, I would recommend taking advantage of that exceptional rate and still come up to Vermont. There's a good chance there will be some snow, lunch is awesome at the deli, and you will be able to enjoy all the special luxuries of a mini-vacation at Trapps. Thanks for your patience.****
Come join us for the fifth annual season opener ski clinic at Trapp Family Lodge Nordic Ski Center. This clinic will not only teach the basic classic and skate skills but will also focus on good uphill and downhill technique. The instructors for this clinic include past Olympians, U.S. Ski Team members, and Masters Champions. All of our instructors have had many years of experience skiing and teaching. This clinic is for the participant who had done some cross-country skiing and wants to become more efficient or even do some racing. It would also be appropriate for those who pursue another sport at a high level and now would like to become more proficient at cross-country skiing. Clinic price includes tasty lunch at the Trapp Family Lodge as well as a waxing clinic. Full event information including schedule can be found here.
***Stay on site at the Trapp Family Lodge for the weekend! Reserve your room by November 23rd for a special rate of $125! Please call 1-800-826-7000 for reservations and mention this clinic. Rate is based on double occupancy in a Deluxe Room***

We have a large disco dance party on Sunday night and a popular spaghetti dinner in the school cafeteria on Saturday night. Teams are lodged in classrooms and our five gymnasiums are made available for team activities during their free times. Our club, our school and our community all co-operate and work very closely in order to keep the tradition of a high quality race run in a fun and friendly environment so the kids live the true meaning of friendship through sports."

March 7, 2010, Ski to the Clouds presented by Maxiglide Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center, Gorham, NH ()
Event Info: 10AM Start. Ski to the Clouds was first held in 1996 as a new and unique challenge to the Mt. Washington Auto Road. Ski to the Clouds has an entirely new twist for this version of the Nordic ski race.

In the past, the race used only terrain on the Auto Road, limiting the distance. The race will finish just past the halfway point of the Mt. Washington Auto Road at just below 4000 feet above sea level. Ski to the Clouds will certainly be a challenge for any skier.

August 14-16, 2009, NENSA Gaining Ground Clinic with Andy Newell, Nina Gavrylyuk. Craftsbury Outdoor Center, Craftsbury Commons, VT ()
Event Info: Andy Newell, USST member and Vermont Native, is one of the fastest men in World Cup Sprint Racing. In August, he will come together with Nina Gavrylyuk, Olympic Gold Medalist and other top New England coaches to help you gain insight into effective training, racing and speed building strategies.
This summer the USST heads into its final push for the 2010 Olympic Games. Get first hand knowledge of what it takes to ski at this level, and how you can incorporate specific elements to help you perform better and meet your personal goals.
This clinic will take place August 14-16th. Other potential instructors include Justin Freeman (2006 Olympics), and Patrick Weaver (1998 and 2002 Olympics).
Andy has graciously agreed to help out with this clinic and we're hoping that our payment can help him reach his goal of an Olympic medal. The more sign-ups we get, the more we'll be able to pay Andy and our other high-level presenters!
Join us at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, home of the newly launched Elite Green Racing Team.
Participants will get the run down on classic and skate technique both in theory and on roller skis. Basic physiology will be discussed along with how to incorporate the myriad of training levels and workouts into a meaningful plan. Participants will be treated to an indoor round-table discussion where your questions get asked and answered in a collaborative setting. There will also be an autograph session, and a raffle for a personal roller ski lesson with Andy.
In addition to providing participants with a view from the top echelons of Nordic skiing, this clinic will also satisfy the requirements for the NENSA Level 1 Coaches Education Certification, and many of the requirements of the USSA L100 certification. The NENSA Coaching and Training Resource Guide is included in the clinic price. (NENSA GG Clinics satisfy the USSA L100 requirements of a Technique clinic, the AESEP course and coaches who are NENSA level 1 or 2 certified will receive a signifcant discount off of the L100 manual and test).
