Eastern States Cup Series Opens the 2011 Season at Mount Snow, Vermont
Mount Snow and the Eastern States Cup Downhill Mountain Bike Race Series are set to unveil the 2011 season this weekend. The Eastern States Cup Series is a USA Cycling Regional Championship Series and will feature three USA Cycling State Championships through the summer. The first race up is June 4th and 5th at Mount Snow, VT. The Mount Snow race will be the first of four races for the USAC Vermont State Championship. Mount Snow and Killington Mountain Resort will have the other three on the schedule. Mount Snow continues a rich tradition in hosting Downhill mountain bike events. The resort located in West Dover, VT has held numerous NORBA, World Cup and National Championship events.
This race also kicks off the NEMA Team Challenge; the ESC will pay out $1000.00 to the top three Teams in the series. This unique concept is gaining attention from racers across the East Coast.

Mount Snow and Killingtons races will count for the Vermont State Championships. Pats Peak and Attitash will count for the New Hampshire. While Whiteface and Plattekill will combine results for the New York State Championships
