WILMINGTON - The New York Ski Educational Foundation hosted A-level moguls skiers at the Whiteface Bumps and Jumps on Jan. 21 and 22.
The top young freestyle skiers from the United States Ski & Snowboard Association's Eastern Region converged on the Lower Wilderness Trail to compete in moguls and dual moguls on the same course that was used by the FIS World Cup competitors just days before.
Former NYSEF athlete Abe Studler took third both days of the competition and third overall. Current NYSEF skier Erik Sparkowski finished 25th Saturday and 26th overall.
