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 outdo...

Seniors Leif (Captain) is a senior from Northfield, MN. He is majoring in biology and after graduating is planning on taking a gap year (or two, or three, or twelve…) before becoming a surgical physician assistant. Leif’s favorite things about skiing include enjoying the beautiful outdoors with wonderful friends and beating Chris “Topher” Prokosch in races. Outside of skiing, Leif enjoys extreme unicycling, watching soccer, and taking long walks on the beach. Leif holds the (very) unofficial St. Olaf school record for fastest walking mile at 9 minutes and 48 seconds. His patronus is a swallow, although he is literally a piece of toast.    Liza (Captain) is a senior from Acton, MA (just takea I-90 for about 24 hours). She is majoring in Sociology/Anthropology, and she does not know what she wants to do next year, thank you very much. Her favorite part of nordic is enjoying the outdoors with friends and playing in fresh powder. When she is not skiing, Liza loves fall, hiking,...
