Cross Country Alaska Gears Up For Besh Cup Races

FasterSkier · December 3, 2003

Cross Country Alaska
invites you to participate in the 2003-04 Besh Cup Series, the premier ski race
series in Alaska. Results in Besh Cup races are used to select the Alaska Teams
to the USSA Junior Olympic National Championships, as well as the biennial Arctic
Winter Games (next games this season – 2004). In addition, Cross Country Alaska
awards trophies to the series winners in each of the age-classes from Junior
3's through Masters.

The Alaskan winter is off to a great start, with most of the state enjoying
excellent ski conditions. The first Besh Cup races are only two weeks away.
We encourage you to
sign up now.

We are excited to have a new non-seed start option for Masters skiers in Besh
Cup races this year. This will be a low-key way for adults to try racing. For
more details, see our website.
