Ripping the Pow

Another day at Wildcat brought six inches of snow to the hill. We were able to get timing in on second run today and the coaches were able to reset during lunch and get everything ready for the athletes.

A deep hole underneath at hard left footed blue gate in the morning provided plenty of interesting transitions and falls. The ruts were deep all day and visibility poor, but our athletes persevered. The new studded tires on our van made the return drive home especially easy.

Elisa Handbury '10 was out bright and early to help set the course and was in high spirits. Kia Mosenthal '12 was the only Brown athlete to strip down and had some excellent runs despite a sore shoulder. Newcomer Jen Therrien '11 impressed everyone on the hill with her first day in gates. Anna Bengtson '09 was back in the gates as she recovers from last year's knee injury. We are all excited for the race on Friday and the many alumni who have responded to join us at the event on Feb 7th.
