The week consisted of two Ski and Snowboard Cross Nor-ams followed by a FIS level event to wrap things up Utilizing the same course built for the Games by Arena Snowparks based in Whistler/Blackcomb BC, NYSEF athletes got to compete at home on a top-level track against some of the best cross racers in North America. Former NYSEF Gore athlete Morgan Shute, now at CVA, came away with the best results taking a 1st and 2nd in the Nor-ams and a 2nd in the FIS race Current Gore skier Hunter G had a good showing finishing 12th and 11th(Nor-am) and 12th(FIS) Whiteface snowboarder Robbie S. couldn’t repeat his podium finish from last year ’ s race but did manage a solid 15th in the FIS race.
