Last year for spring break we got the amazing chance to spend a week together skiing as a team in Norway. Although we might not have made it across the pond this spring, we were lucky enough to still be skiing in a beautiful place with great company.

After wrapping up midterms on the 15th, Henry, Jack, Woody, Emil and myself piled into a car and headed up to Lake Placid to race the 50k Lake Placid Loppet and get in some skiing in the High Peaks of the Adirondacks.

After a successful Loppet and a couple good days of skiing, we loaded up the Mcgrew-mobile to make the trip up to Quebec City for World Cup finals. Before the races started on Friday we managed to get in a few more distance skis at Monte Sainte Anne and For
êt Montmorency. For the races we were joined by Braden Becker and a couple of alum from the class of 2017. Highlights included watching Klaebo dominate the sprints, seeing Harvey get second in front of his home crowd in the last race of his career, and Woody managing to snag the broken pole that cost Bolshunov an overall world cup title.

It sure has been pretty unreal getting to meet the fastest skiers in the world and watching them race just a couple blocks away from our Airbnb. More to come once we get back to campus and have a chance to gather some more pictures and write everything up.
