The Cross Country Experience: Bill Koch DVD
$14.99 (US shipping included)
A review on outyourbackdoor.com captures it well:
"That movie has SPIRIT! It's only 20 minutes long, or so. It's all casual, backwoods style---well, some trail action. But Bill Koch shows what it's all about. Man, I just LOVE those hill-bombing scenes... Man, what fun! I actually found a couple of sections to be emotionally moving---when the movie transitions from fast downhill to kicking and gliding back uphill with the nice soundtrack, that just does something to me."

Event Organizers' Handbook
$7.49 (US shipping included)
NENSA events serve many purposes beyond providing a timed course for racers. Races are the primary vehicle through which NENSA can direct the development of ski racers and skiing communities. Eastern Cup, Marathon Series, Citizen Series and Championship race organizers are partners with NENSA in building success at all levels of the sport.
Many of the specifics in this handbook reflect specific development goals and priorities, and the efforts of the organizing committee to meet those goals are paramount to the long terms success of xc ski racing in New England.
This handbook is specifically written to complement the FIS and USSA rulebooks directly addressing the most relevant issues faced by regional event organizers.
