J2 Information
If you (your child) was born in 1998 or 1999, they count as a J2 skier. The Sassi race at Black Mountain this coming Saturday, in addition to being a race for all Maine high school skiers, is also the qualifying event for Maine J2 skiers for the J2 festival held March 7-9, this year in Vermont. Maine creates a team of 20 J2 boys and 20 J2 girls to make up the Maine team. Click on the link below for much more specific information regarding this event.
You will note that this J2 festival is an expensive weekend ($325), with the cost entirely borne by the skier and his/her family. Also, in addition to the $325 for the festival, skiers must also have a NENSA membership (cost $35).
Should a J2 skier be in the top 20, they need to come to the race this Saturday knowing whether or not they will attend the J2 festival in March. Registration and payment will take place during the few days following the race, but skiers MUST report their intentions after the race itself on Saturday.
It is not uncommon for skiers to not attend the festival because of the significant cost, so nobody should feel badly if they decide to not attend because of the price tag.
Ask Susan if you have any questions, and please be sure to come to the Saturday race knowing what your plans will be.
