  • 2021-22 NYSEF Freeride Program Info
    2021 - 2022 NYSEF Freeride Program We use the term Freeride to define the many disciplines within the sports of skiing and snowboarding not related to traditional nordic or alpine ski racing. Below are descriptions of each of the disciplines and some of the terminology used to describe each. Freestyle skiing – The foundation for what we call Freestyle skiing are the traditional sports of Moguls(M) and Aerials(A). The word “freestyle '' can also be used as a general term to describe snowboarding & skiing disciplines such as Halfpipe, Slopestyle, & Railjam which involves tricks, jumps, and terrain park features, such as rails, boxes, jibs, or other obstacles. Slopestyle (SS) – a judged skiing/snowboarding event held on a terrain-park course consisting of a variety of jumps, boxes, and rails. Skiercross (SX) – Also called Ski Cross. Downhill race with as many as six athletes in a heat on a course consisting of a variety of jumps, banked turns, and rollers. Athletes are normally seeded by way of an individual time trial prior to heat racing. The top athletes in each heat advance to the next round while the others are eliminated. Boardercross (BX) – Also called Snowboard Cross (SBX). Same as above with snowboarders. Railjam(RJ)(R) – Railjams are ski and/or snowboard events held solely on rails or box features in a jam-style format. In this format athletes take as many runs as possible in a predetermined time period and may or may not proceed to a final round. Can be judged by a panel of judges or by the competitors themselves.

  • PRESIDENT's LETTER Covering the White Winter World WELCOME
    July 11, 2019 PRESIDENT’S LETTER Covering The White Winter World When the Eastern Slope Inn in North Conway, N.H., hosted the first organizational meeting of the Eastern Ski Writers Association in September 1962, the focus was clearly on covering skiing, then best defined as alpine downhill. Today if you write, blog, broadcast, photograph, video, Tweet or Insta to cover a winter sport or leisure pastime that occurs on snow, you’ll find a home at NASJA. Yes, we’re talking about you competitive or non-competitive alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, dog sledding, ski jumping, ski orienteering, snowboarding, snowshoeing, uphilling, fat biking, even snow dancing. Snowmobiling not so much, but we’ve expanded the definition of snowsports in the past, and can do so again as popular leisure activities change with the times. We service the needs of our readers, viewers and online users with news and information they can use to decide how to spend those precious few hours in the white winter world when they’re not sleeping, eating, working, doing housework, in school, or dare we say, zoned out in front of a screen. NASJA members take pride in helping the North American consumer get the most out of their free time, a most treasured commodity. So if you’re a journalist who covers snowsports, help us make NASJA your organization, one that services your needs best. - Jeff Blumenfeld NASJA President WELCOME PETE PA NDOLI, NEW NA SJA TREA SURER The NASJA board is pleased to announce the selection of new treasurer Pete Pandoli, from Moseley, Virginia.
