It's been a beautiful fall so far! Highlights of last week include the annual Schnell time trial with Dimitri, Aubrey, and Alice leading the men's and women's teams to record times, the brutal half pipe workout at Sheep Hill, and Maddy's 20th birthday! Yesterday we did an OD skate rollerski workout in Savoy, MA and spent most of the morning skiing into a stiff headwind, with chilly temperatures, and even a bit of snow at the end! This past week the team has really pulled together on an awesome fundraiser to sell mittens and hats during lunch in the student center. The money will support the development team this winter by covering their entry fees for the NENSA Eastern Cups. In just five days we've made close to $500! We are well on our way to make racing available and affordable for everyone this winter! This week is our last full week of classes and training before Thanksgiving. If the snow cooperates we'll spend Thanksgiving as a team at Foret Montmorency in Canada before returning to school for one more week of classes in December and then a week of exams and final papers before break! Keep your fingers crossed for snow!
