The New Look NYSSRA Website is now up!

21 10 2008

NYSSRA Nordic, Inc. has launched its new-look website at www.nyssranordic.com .  This website should serve as a hub for the nordic disciplines and a central location for NYSSRA’s member clubs to convey information.   Our second VP, Dave Kvam has teamed up with XC Committee Chair, Larry Wilkinson to manage the website, and they are always looking for ideas on how to best serve the membership while still keeping the site streamlined.   One feature of the new site is a commitment to blogging as a way to get timely news to our membership.  Currently there are blogs maintained by XC, Ski-O, Biathlon, the Points Series and by some of our members and member clubs.  NYSSRA wants you to contribute.  If you are a club leader, use our site to get your information out to our entire membership.  If you are a ski racer with an interesting story, share it with us.  Set up a blog and contact me (perunordic@yahoo.com).  Or contact me and I will help you set one up.  Be a part  of the NYSSRA story.
