USSA Nordic SuperTour Event Makes Stop in Lake Placid



Lake Placid, NY -- The New York Ski Educational Foundation (NYSEF), the Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) and the village of Lake Placid are excited to host high-level US Ski Association SuperTour cross-country ski races January 14-15, 2011. The event is the next stop on the USSA SuperTour circuit following the 2011 US National Championships in Rumford, Maine. The races will be held in unison with the St. Lawrence University Winter Carnival and the annual NYSEF Harry Eldridge races. It is anticipated that over 400 competitors will participate including members of the US Ski Team, Eastern Division 1 College Teams and a strong junior field. The junior races will count as a Junior Olympic Qualifier for the Mid-Atlantic Division and an out-of-region qualifier for the New England Division.

The Olympic Sports Complex at Mt. Van Hoevenberg will provide athletes with challenging terrain on the “Ladies 5km” course and the Biathlon side venue, and will feature both classic and freestyle competitions.

Excellent sponsorship opportunities are available for interested companies and individuals. If interested, please contact the NYSEF Main Office for further information at (518) 946-7001 or contact Kelly Kennedy (NYSEF Development Director) at kellyk (at) nysef.org.

We invite and encourage interested athletes, coaches, parents and spectators to join us in the Olympic Village of Lake Placid for an exciting weekend of racing.
