Skiing

Staying in cold air with a single race suit on as you traverse a mountain initially seems daunting. Still, Alpine Skiing brings joy that can’t be found anywhere else. Unlike other sports, the ski team must travel all the way to Berkshire East to practice, which gives ample time to get to know one another in the ski vans. On most days we have a course set up to get us ready for each Wednesday race. The team competes in a league called MISL, racing against high schools and middle schools, which brings a wide variety of competition. One of the weeks, however, ten to eleven members of the team compete in the NEPSACS, facing off against prep schools all over New England. Due to us racing against the same schools every week, we are given the luxury of meet other racers from different schools, building connections with students outside of Bement.
