The New England Ski Museum is having it's annual Hannes Schneider Meister Cup Race weekend March 11-12 at Cranmore Mountain in New Hampshire. There are going to be teams of racers from several different ski areas and other organizations including a team from Austria, Hannes' native land. If you would like to race in this even and have a team you can, but you can also register individually and they will place you on a team. Non-racers are also welcome.
In addition to the races there are other events and activities. These include an ice sculpture contest, a vintage ski wear contest and exhibit, a bavarian band entertaining, a welcome party on Friday Night, a silent auction, a Bratwurst party and more. Some events are closed and you must have a paid entry for while others are open to the public free of charge. For more information visit their site. http://www.skimuseum.org/hsmcr.html
I have volunteered at this event for the past few years. Here are some pictures from last year: http://teachski.com/articles/schneider/8thannual.htm (unfortunately there are some broken picture links on this page, but I will fix them as soon as possible - I just changed servers to increase disk space)
If you do not know about Hannes Schneider and his contributions to skiing, particularly in the North Conway area, here is an article about him: http://teachski.com/articles/schneider/schneider.htm
I will be volunteering again this year and hope to see some of you there. PM me if you plan to attend and maybe we can plan to meet.
