Biggest NESS season yet to conclude with head-to-head finals

After eight qualifying tournaments in five states and the largest field of skiers in its history, the field for the finals of the 2026 Northeast Slalom Series presented by Radar Skis is set.

This Saturday, 16 adults and 8 juniors will face off at Pangaea Puddle in Canajoharie, NY, to determine this year’s champions. The adults will be competing for nearly $6,000 in cash and prizes, and the juniors for a new ski and bragging rights to last a lifetime.
