17 attended club ski at Kennedy State Forest

January 22, 2012

Given the poor snow showing this season so far, 17 of us had a great ski at Kennedy State Forest. There was about 3 inches of fresh snow on a decent base. Check the tour schedule and be sure to join the email list to keep abreast of latest updates.

2012 Cayuga Nordic Classic Ski Race-CANCELLED!

Sorry, we just aren’t going to get enough snow to prepare an acceptable track to race in.

See you next year.

Thanks for all the people who volunteered to help.  I’m sure you’re all horribly disappointed….

ANNUAL FALL DINNER MEETING, Friday Nov. 11 6 pm

October 17, 2011

ANNUAL FALL DINNER MEETING

Friday, November 11th, 6PM, Ellis Hollow Community Center
As has long been the custom, theCayuga Nordic Ski Club will have a dish to pass dinner meeting to start the season and to plan for the club events during the coming winter. We plan to open the doors at 6:00 and to start eating as soon after 6:30 PM as possible. The business meeting will follow and will also be short.
The club will provide tea, coffee and some sort of juice, but nothing alcoholic (BYO). We will also bring roast chicken or turkey. Each member or family is asked to bring some sort of main dish, salad, dessert, or snack/dip. Please bring your own cutlery, cups, and plates.
Note the change of venue, which will allow us to indulge (responsibly) in licenced beverages. The Community Center is at 111 Genung Rd, just north of Ellis Hollow Rd, and is about 4 miles east of downtown Ithaca. Coming from town, out Ellis Hollow Rd, turn left on Genung Rd and the Center is on your right.

We did have a couple of smaller kids, Ben Supron and Casey Seem, who participated in the sprints. Maybe if the kids program gets off the ground now that we have snow, we’ll have some more next year.

Thanks to everyone for coming.

As an aside, if you are actually a NYSSRA member and I have not noted it so, please let me know and I will make sure that the information gets forwarded so that your points will accrue.

The CNSC race at Hammond Hill on Saturday January 15!

January 12, 2011

From Jack:

The CNSC race at Hammond Hill on Saturday January 15 became a little more
than a pipe dream in the past day or so.  As of now, it is definitely a go.
We skied the course tonight and it is in great shape.  The grooming
equipment got dropped off earlier this evening and is ready to go.
Saturday’s weather conditions should be perfect for a great classic ski
race.  Plenty to choose from:

a short kiddies race for anybody 12 and under (they race for free)–We would
really love to see the little twerps out there!
a 5k citizens race that includes lots of climbing and descending
a 10k race for everyone else that serves as an Empire State Games qualifier
and a NYSSRA points race.  The 10k race has twice as much climbing and
descending as the 5k since you do the same loop twice.

The skireg link for on-line registration is
http://www.skireg.com/events/register.asp?EventID=3190.  Or you can register
at the race from 8:30 AM to 10:15 AM

If you were waffling because of the snow shortage, you’re done waffling now!
Hope to see lots of you out there.
