End of Season Update
The 2011 season ended this weekend with the joint Brown University/Boston College Carnival at our own Wildcat Mountain. The weekend brought both teams back to Mt. Washington Valley and the men returned to the famed Will's Inn where they spend the entire Jan Camp. However, the weather played havoc on the race schedule as Sunday's Giant Slalom race had to be canceled due to high winds and poor visibility.
On Saturday, the seniors came out in style showing off their true colors. Mike "Google Maps" Cohen '11 is known among the coaches and team members for his photographic memory and cunning ability to guide the vans through the backroads of New Hampshire. Fittingly, he dressed up as Google Maps, displaying maps of the entire United States across his body. As he went down for his second run, he even used a North American atlas to cross-block the gates. Jeff Ernsting '11 dressed up as a penguin, yet despite the headgear and plump body, finished with a time of 1:34.49 in 25th place. Captain Krista Consiglio '11 donned a pink outfit and skied to a 6th place finish with a time of 1:33.07.
In the slalom, the women were led by Kia Mosenthal '12 who finished 3rd coming in at 1:32.50. Freshman Emma LeBlanc '14 was close behind with a time of 1:32.87, which was good for a 5th place finish. Emily Simmons '12 rounded out the 4 scoring times with a 19th place finish and led to a Brown victory for the final race of the year.
With Saturday's result, the women finished tied for 3rd place in the McConnell Division. They look to continue upon their late season success at regionals in two weeks. The men ended the season in 7th place - their best finish in recent years as they beat out MIT and St. Anselm. Stay tuned for updates from regionals at Waterville Valley and Nationals in Sun Valley, Idaho.

On his way down, Brady managed to remove a panel, demolish two gates, and delaminate his ski. Saturday, the men finished 7th for the first time in years. With Brady back in action on loaner skis, he provided a strong scoring time behind Jeff to help the men overtake St. Anslem and earn the 7th place finish.

They were the highest placed East Coast Team, and after placing 5th at regionals, the women finished the season in top form as ahead of every other team in the McConnell Divison. They finished behind Westminster College and Sierra Nevada College, both of which are located in the Rocky Mountains with easy access to training and have rosters stacked with skiers from around the world.
After a great finish in the Giant Slalom with three skiers in the top 16, the women continued to exhibit their prowess on the Slalom course taking 4th last Friday. Kia Mosenthal '12 led the women with a combined time of 1:51.10 to finish in 10th place.

We would like to wrap up the season with a big thanks to all the parents who helped out at each race. And last, but not least, we would like to thank our outstanding coaching staff, led again this year by Michael LeBlanc. He was assisted by John Van Slyke as well as first-time coach Eliza Hawkins. Stay tuned for updates throughout the off season as we prepare for what we hope will be another great year.
