Back in business

We are back from our summer blogging hiatus and are excited to announce that the 2013/14 SLUSKI Nordic team is on campus and training away as ever!

It was a summer that saw many improvements across the board in terms of training quality, quantity, specificity and effort. We had our first team meeting last night and discussed some goals for the season, which always gets everyone pretty fired up (as it should!).

We have the Alumni XC race this weekend on the campus course, an annual 6k run that has become a pretty standard event for the team. We've also gotten a crew lined up for the Climb to the Castle rollerski race in Lake Placid in a few weeks, plus Will, Kyle, Reed and Middlebury ski teamer Nick Underwood will be teaming up to paddle the ADK 90-miler canoe race next weekend.

I'm sure there will be many photos to share from all three of those events once they happen, but for now I'll just share the new team/school logo that was officially unveiled last night at "Spirit Fest". When it comes to the ski team I'll always be partial to the Snowflake logo and AC/DC font, however, so don't expect those to go away anytime soon as long as it's on something the administration doesn't see that often!



Here we go Saints!
