Thanks to the officials, volunteers and everyone who participated in the 2014 ESWG TourNADO.  What a great event!  This three day, three race affair tested skiers in various distances and techniques and the snow and venues were in great shape.

Skiers who competed in all three events had their NYSSRA Points added together to determine overall TourNADO age-class victors.  The ESWG TourNADO was also part of the NYSSRA Points Series, the NYSSRA Club Championship Series and part of the Wilkinson Cup Series.  Tremendous points were on the line throughout the entire weekend.  Racing continues next weekend with the Great Sacandaga Mini-Marathon on Saturday and the Shen Classic on Sunday.  The following weekend (2/22-23) features the Cookie Clash at Dewey Mt, the Winona Forest Tourathon and the Poronkusema Pursuit. The Final Stop on the Wilkinson Cup Circuit  will take place back at Mt Van Hoevenberg during the NYSSRA Championships March 1-2.  There is still a tremendous amount of racing to be had in NY State!
