NYSEF skiers crowned as champs
The New York Ski Educational Foundation under-16 athletes had a busy weekend last week during the state championships at Gore and West Mountain. The championships pitted NYSEF skiers against the best in New York, with a chance to qualify for the U-16 Easterns (which take place in Sugarloaf, Maine) and the Finals (Gore).
NYSEF qualified more than 25 athletes (boys and girls combined) for the March races.
