The Eaglebrook Ski Team has had, without a doubt, a brilliant start to the winter season.
The season started with the “infamous” dry-land training, which occurred when there was no snow to ski on. Instead, the team gathered at the track and prepared for skiing. We would run, complete abdominal exercises, or do other drills that would improve our performance later in the season. Dry-land is undoubtedly tiring work for the team, but the accomplishment and fulfillment after a one-mile run are unforgettable.
We are extremely fortunate to have the Eaglebrook maintenance crew this year making snow on our mountain. As a result, we were able to enjoy the ski hill as soon as we returned to campus. Both ski trails, Amy’s Run and Langley, were open for use. Gates were set up daily along Amy’s Run for practice. As a new member of the team, I thoroughly enjoyed every second of skiing on the team and every interaction I had with my new teammates. Everybody welcomed me and helped me improve my skills.
Something special about the Eaglebrook Ski Team is that every Wednesday the team travels to Berkshire East Ski Resort for a ski race. Everybody gets to go and I am certainly hyped to compete alongside my peers.
