The North American Junior VASA Races Prove To Be FUN and Successful For Young Cross Country Skiers of ALL Ages
By Pete Edwards
Young cross country ski racers from as far away as Pennsylvania and as young as 2 ½ years old participated Saturday afternoon in the Junior VASA. Junior skiers ages 7 and under skied the 1km course. Skiers 8-15 skied the longer and more challenging (but very skiable and user friendly) 2km trail.
As all of the Junior VASA participants cross the finish line they received a North American VASA Championship Medal. The Junior VASA is all about participation. The event is not timed. All finishers are winners. The entry has always been a super value at only $5.00 per skier. VASA goody bag included.
“Junior Vasa skiers will be the Vasa skiers of the future,” states Pete LaPlaca, Executive Director of the North American Vasa. “Hopefully they’ll remember the fun they had on skis in this event, and continue the sport for their entire lives. The smiles on these kid’s faces are our reward.”
The North American VASA is recognized for its meticulous trail grooming and excellent ski conditions. The Jr. VASA receives the same quality attention. Trail grooming for both Jr. VASA courses were again performed by Timber Ridge Resort and Nordic Center’s grooming experts.
The date for the 2012 North American Junior VASA is Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012.
Kids wanted.

🎿 What an inspiring day on snow!
Last Tuesday’s Coaching HER event with Heidi Ettlinger was a huge success - women skiers and riders from all levels came together for gear insights, technique work, confidence-building, and real community connection.
Thank you to Heidi for sharing her expertise and to everyone who joined us. These moments make winter even better! ❄️⛷️🏂

Fun fact - Snow Snake is blessed with the best ski patrollers around.
Yesterday was International Ski Patrol Day and we want to take the opportunity to celebrate and recognize the extraordinary ski patrollers who keep resorts open, safe and fun for people of all ages and skill levels. The dedicated volunteer group at Snow Snake is filled with talented patrollers who put in the time during the winter season and in the offseason to ensure our hill is a safe place to ski and board.
