Brotherly Love All district PWER Alpine Ski Team looks forward to this season. By Hanna McDaniels
THERE’S NOTHING BETTER than a
fresh blanket of snow, creating ideal conditions for a welcomed race down a local ski hill. For the LeVander family, skiing has turned into not only a beloved hobby, but a family sport. The PWER Alpine Ski Team is made up of roughly 80 students from Park High
20
School, Woodbury High School and East Ridge High School. Woodbury natives and brothers Bennett, 16, and E.J., 13, LeVander are ready to take on this season on the PWER team—Bennett has been on the team for three years and made it to state for the 2021 season. For E.J., this is his first season hitting the slopes as a
member of the team. “I’m looking forward to beating my brother this season,” E.J. says with a smile. “But I’m so excited to join this team.” The LeVanders’ ski legacy starts with Eric LeVander, Bennett and E.J.’s father, who joined the PWER Alpine Ski Team during his time at Woodbury
