Hello to our returning members and new members: Welcome to the Nashoba Valley Ski Club! NVSC is a volunteer, parent run ski club based out of the Nashoba Valley Ski area in Westford, MA. As a non-profit organization, we maintain the goal of providing a fun environment for kids to develop racing skills. We do this by coordinating with the Eastern Massachusetts Buddy Werner League organization, Nashoba Valley Ski Area, and several other ski clubs around the region. Last year, our J6 racers (those 8 and under) were league champions and we’re looking forward to building on that success across all divisions this coming season. Registration for the 2010-2011 season will begin on October 13, 2010. Registration applications can be mailed and postmarked no earlier than October 13th. Available slots in the program are limited, so please get your registrations in right away, starting on October 13th. Registrations must be postmarked by November 13th. You will receive an email with a club roster confirming your registration by December 1st. Practices are held on Thursday evenings, starting when Nashoba Valley Ski Area opens in December. The races are held on Sunday mornings and begin after the first of the year. The club is strategically run by a group of trustees. These volunteers spend a significant amount of time working on initiatives to ensure the practices and races are successfully run and that the long-term goals of the club are met. Along these lines, we will be recruiting core volunteers for the future officers of Nashoba Valley Ski Club, so please get to know the trustees and find out how the club operates. On the tactical side of our events, volunteering is mandatory for the families of all racers and is essential to race operations. Without parent involvement and participation, races cannot be run efficiently and safely. A “mandatory work assignment” form is included as part of the registration package and must be completed and returned in order for your registration to be complete. In addition to the practices and races, look for other fun activities throughout the season including our annual parent/child race, championship cookout, and banquet. Finally, the NVSC website, www.nvscracing.com, is the primary way for club members to stay informed about registration, practices, races, results, standings, special events, and other items you may need to get started for the season and stay informed throughout. Be sure to check out the club’s “survival guide” found on the website, an essential guide to all aspects of NVSC, and also sign up for important email announcements. We’re all looking forward to seeing our returning members and welcoming many new members this season. Ski fast, ski safe, and have fun!
