USCSA's aka The Bend Blizzard

Image
This year, we traveled to Bend, Oregon for US College Nationals. We fought through altitude and more snow than we have ever seen in MN to 1) find the trailhead and 2) race! It was an absolute joy to see so much snow. St. Olaf killed it at USCSA’s with 10 top 10 finishes! As we all know, 10 is better than 6. Before the racing started, we got to explore the beautiful Smith Rock State Park. Brochman ran while we walked. We also took our first trip up to Mt. Bachelor and were met with more snow than most of us had ever experienced before.  Over the next week the mountain received about 4 feet of new snow, making for some soft conditions during the races.   The parking lot snow pile. No wonder we couldn't find the Nordic Center behind all that snow! Smith Rock State Park We finally found the mountains when the sun came out on the last day! The Women's and Men's USCSA Teams The first day of racing was the 7.5k classic individual start, which too

Spring Fun!

April brings a lull in the competitive skiing adventures of our team, but the fun never stops!  At our end of season banquet Brochman gave accurate and detailed descriptions of the successes of each skier’s season, and of their training plans while abroad.  It was a great time to celebrate the season. Congratulations to all the Academic All-Americans from the Nordic and Alpine Teams. In our new free time we revived an old favorite ski team game: Mafia.  At first things weren’t looking good for the mafia when Molly was killed in the first vote.  But Leif was then able to kill all the rest of us pretty quickly.   After that we joined with the Alpine team to play a game of hug assassins.   Additionally Tuesday afternoons have become game time.  With some nicer weather we’ve been able to play frisbee outside, but have also played some basketball, gone rock climbing, and invented a new game of tennis.  Our intramural this session is outdoor futsal.  With a stellar record of 1-1 (wi
