Sam and Ali run Boston!

The Williams ski team was well represented at the Boston Marathon on Monday with former ski teamer Ali DeMarchis '10 running a speedy 3:32:25 and Sam Kapala '09 running a smoking-fast time of 2:53:59.

Spring Skiing in April and Birger Vignes

After hearing reports that some new snow at Prospect had make for "fantastic" skiing, Evan, Erik, Keith, and I decided to give the trails a whirl. It was warm and slow, but the snow coverage was great and skiing in t-shirts (and skirts) was a definite bonus.

 

Birger Vignes is more than a "regular" at Prospect: today was his 155th day of skiing this season. He told us that he was going for a personal record of 160 days of skiing this year. Go Birger! 

 

Skiing up the S-turns: tons of snow coverage.
