Headlines 2000, Details and ArchivesNY/NJ CHAMPIONS SHOW OFF THEIR STUFF!!
For the first time ever in recent history, NY and NJ held a joint State Championship competition to build on the skills and assets of each state to create a truly unique event!! The event was held at Twin Lakes in Monroe NY on July 29 & 30. An excellent site with record capable facilities was provided by Twin Lakes Ski Club, and fun and enthusiasm was provided by all!! OK, the NY judges didn't initially know what the towers were there for but still did an excellent job from their lawn chairs. Reflecting the Skier Values of Old, the NY upstaters showed up with tents and campers and made themselves comfortable (thanks to the Peckham's for their great hybachi breakfast). There seemed to be some debate as to whether upstaters brought the rain or whether the rain belonged to Twin Lakes! In reality, while the rain did dampen sneakers it was unable to dampen the spirit of the event. The kids were great in their spirit and enthusiasm and truly enjoyed the awards banquet. I am sure many a student will be showing up in class this week to explain that they are the Champion of the State! Coors Light Maneuver of the day would have to go to Bob Corson for his jump crash. Much of the balance of the weekend was spent talking about who saw it and who missed it, what the consensus was on the probably root cause, and asking Bob to count how many fingers you were holding up. Shaken but not stirred, he luckily skated without major injury. Observations by Dean Rudy
