Mission
The Gore Mountain Ski Club, supports New York Ski Education Foundation (NYSEF), a not-for-profit junior racing program whose mission is to support racing related and social activities for team members, coaches, staff and their families. The club has benefited tremendously from the experiences at Gore Mountain. Children have learned skills that will allow them to enjoy a lifetime of skiing. In the process they have grown more self-confident and independent.
Racing is important to our members but the NYSEF focus is on developing fundamental skills because we believe that you have to be a great skier in order to become a good racer.
At the younger developmental level (J IV and JV) the NYSEF program spends much more time free skiing and working on technique than on running gates. As the athlete’s ability progresses competition can then become a focus. We firmly believe that this philosophy produces better skiers, better racers and young people who develop a life-long love of the sport. To find out more about this program click here
