Congrats Caroline! Thanks for everything you do!

Team New England is getting ready to head to Soldier Hollow, Utah ( ) for US Ski and Snowboard's Junior Nationals later this week!

As we look forward to a week of racing out West, we're introducing the skiers that will be representing the East as part of Team New England. Today, our U18 Boys!

Featuring a mix of JNs experience, and newfound energy, our U18 Boys have are a dynamic group that have spent this season challenging the top of the field at the Eastern Cup. They also represent the full New England suite, with at least one skier from Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts represented in the group!

Perhaps then, it's appropriate they'll be led by a great coach from the hub of the spokes (Boston) that reach out into the mountains and coast of New England, EXMC () Head Coach Chris Stock!

Our U18 Boys:

Matthew McIntosh - Green Mountain Valley School ()
Joseph Sluka - Ford Sayre ( )
Jonah Gorman - Mansfield Nordic Club ( )
Jed Bentley - Dublin XC ( )
Niko Cuneo - Mansfield Nordic Club
Beckett Cote - Quarry Road Ski Club ( )
Fritz Sanders - Berkshire Trails
Lucas Barstow - Gould Academy ( )
Chris Stock (COACH) - EMXC

2025 Bill Koch Festival

It is SO MUCH FUN to host the NENSA Bill Koch League Festival. The skiers love it and the volunteers love it. Here are a few photos from flyingpointroad.com that capture some of the joy today at Quarry Road Trails

It was another great day for our race crew and our Quarry Road Ski Club athletes. Several of our alums skied with Roy Varney and knew him well. Congrats to Beckett for earning the top step on the podium. Also on the day Ian Beal earned a top 30, Lex Cote a top 10, and Noah Oliver had another day of strong skiing!

A great day for the volunteers but also for our skiers! Big first podium for Beckett Cote (and club alum Ellis Slover) and fast skiing all around. On to Day Two!

The team is back in action this weekend. This time on their home course with the NENSA Roy Varney Eastern Cup. We're looking forward to a great weekend of racing with the region's best!

This year’s Eastern Cup Opener will be held in memory of ...

Podium Alert! It was a big weekend of podium finishes for QRSC athletes. At the Maranacook Waves high school race, Andrea Gunter (Waterville HS / QRSC) takes home the 9th grade win! Meanwhile in Lake Placid, NY Beckett Cote earns a podium in the junior sprints. And on both Saturday and Monday the middle school team saw racing action with Amelie van der Meer and Turner Albee earning the win on Saturday and Scotia Bell (2nd) and Will Ainsworth (3rd) earning podiums on Monday. And lots of great skiing from SO MANY other athletes. What a weekend!

In a little over two weeks (Feb 1-2) our club will host the NENSA Roy Varney Memorial Eastern Cup at Quarry Road Trails. We have a fun crew of volunteers already signed up, but still looking for 8-10 more folks. If you can volunteer, we'll guarantee good company, good baked goods, and good coffee... and the chance to watch the fastest ski racers in the region zip around the trails.
