Greetings from Williamstown!

Hey Everyone!

I'm in Williamstown working at the Admissions Office giving tours and info sessions and doing some stuff on the side for WOOLF until June 20th. I've met a few prospective skiers (alpine + nordic) that have come through the office and it's been fun to chat with them and get them excited about Williams. I've definitely had my share of ridiculous questions from intense parents ("What were your SAT scores?!") so it's been amusing to say the least. All the incoming freshman register for WOOLF by June 13th so on that front it's been pretty low key, but I'm excited to put all the kids on trips and give the leaders their WOOLFie rosters! Graduation was last Sunday and I got to see Natty, Scotty, Morgan, and the alpine skiers (and after 14 years Chip Knight too!) get their diplomas.

It's been lots of fun to catch up with Katie, Amy, and Evan for workouts and enjoy the last two weeks of beautiful weather! (I think today was the first subpar weather day since the rainy WOOLF training trips a few weeks ago.) This picture of Katie, Evan, and I was taken last week on the Shepard's Well trail after our run up the Birch Brook Trail and across the Taconic Crest Trail. As pretty much everyone knows, the view is awesome and makes Petersburg Pass looks super intense. A few of Evan and Katie's friends from high school joined us too. Amy, Katie, and I have done some rollerski workouts together too, primarily in Pownal on the loop that the team uses in the fall. Today, after perfecting what it means to go Level 1, we made an amazing discovery: the art gallery at the top of big hill before the elementary school sells unbelievable homemade ice cream so we, of course, made a quick stop on the way home!

The alums are rolling into town this weekend for the Alumni Reunion so things are picking up here and the Williamstown Theater Festival is starting soon, but I'm excited to get home on the 20th and then head to the coast of Maine for a few days afterwards with Keith and the parents.

Can't wait to hear from everyone else about their fun summer plans!

Cheers,
Liz
