By now, everyone is painfully aware of the current fiscal crisis in New York State. ORDA (Olympic Regional Development Authority) is potentially on the State budget chopping block. NYSSRA Nordic, Inc. maintains that the ORDA Nordic Skiing and Biathlon Venue at Mount Van Hoevenberg, in Lake Placid, is essential to the life of Nordic Ski Sports in our State. Mt. Van Hoevenberg hosts many of our events each year, including signature events like NYSEF’s Harry Eldridge Weekend, the Lake Placid Loppet and the Empire State Games. Mount Van Hoevenberg is a world-class facility that we are fortunate enough to have in our home State.
NYSSRA Ski and Biathlon Clubs as well as individual Members who are concerned about the future of the ORDA Nordic Ski Sport venues please access this link http://www.lakeplacid.com/orda/ and send a letter(s) to your representatives, asking them to keep ORDA in the budget for the sake of our sport.
Thank you,
Jim Kobak, President
NYSSRA Nordic, Inc.
