We originally planned that MCWS and NYA would be a cooperative team, meaning it would truly be one team for racing and scoring purposes, not just for training. Part way into the season, we learned that the MPA was prohibiting cooperative teams for both alpine and nordic skiing, which meant that MCWS and NYA would have separate team scores in races. We (and a few other teams) appealed this decision and today we pled our case to the MPA, explaining that we want all skiers to enjoy as full an experience as possible, including having the opportunity to contribute to meaningful team scores, something that wouldn't happen with a team of only 1, 2 or 3 skiers. In a happily surprising turnaround, the MPA reversed this decision for this year and next and will allow the MCWS/NYA nordic team to move forward as one team. To say we are thrilled would be an understatement!
