Nordic Program Philosophy

NYSEF athletes are encouraged to become “good skiers” as well as “good racers”; good technique is the key to racing fast at the higher levels. Our coaching staff helps to instill a passion and love for skiing with their athletes to make skiing and racing a life-long and enjoyable activity. Our program philosophy is based on developing and mastering proper fundamental skills, then challenging them in a competitive environment.

Programs range from 1 day/week in the winter to multi-day, full year offerings in order to meet the varying needs of athletes and families. We strive to create an environment in which each athlete learns the essential skills to reach their potential in their sport.

We want each NYSEF athlete to be the best that they can be and have fun doing it! The friendships and valuable connections your children will make through skiing will last a lifetime.
