Official Practice Begins!

It’s that time again! When the leaves turn gold, the apples turn crisp, and the skiers search longingly into the extended forecast for any sign of winter’s pending arrival.
It is also time to break in the new freshmen! With ten freshmen added to this year’s roster, the upperclassmen on the William’s ski team have quite an opportunity to pass on their superior knowledge (ie how to get free snack bar points). Heading up the Purple Ski Cows are Captains Natalie Joffe (‘08) and Sam Kapala (‘09).
In the second week of Official Practice, the Ephs have dealt with multiple colds, sore throats, and the usual barrage of sicknesses related to college campuses. But spirits remain high, and complaints are nil, even when Coach Smith leads the team on a series of unflattering warm-up exercises in preparation for even more unflattering spenst drills.
