Jens Bartel lining up for his race start
Junior Polar Bear Nordic skiers participated in the 2013 NYSSRA Nordic Mid-Atlantic Bill Koch Festival hosted by Rochester Cross Country Ski Federation on Saturday and Sunday, March 2 and 3 at Bristol Mountain Nordic Center.
The Bill Koch Festival, is a weekend-long celebration of youth cross-country skiing. It is an event where young skiers, ages five to 13, and their families come together to enjoy ski racing, and general fun in the snow.
“The festival is not just about ski racing—although the ski races do play a very prominent role in the activities. Rather, it is a great way to enjoy a weekend away with family and friends to culminate the ski season,” said Janine Phaneuf, nordic ski coach.
