NCS Skimeister


In a nod to the historical nature of skiing competitions, every year since I came to NCS we have had a friendly four-event competition. The goal is participation, and to have students become aware that there was a time when athletes did all the skiing events on one set of gear ... slalom, downhill, jumping, and cross country ... and the real deal was the person that excelled in all of them. So, yesterday all our students were out competing in nordic, biathlon, slalom, and freestyle jumps. The picture is shows me in the capacity of Chief of Course for the biathlon event.
