Exams are finished, we’re settling into our warm weather activities, and summer is finally here! We’d like to extend our thank you’s for another season of support, and a successful season at that!

This year we qualified to not only send our female team to Nationals, but in addition two male athletes, Max Duso and Jake Klonsky! Journeying all the way to Lake Placid, NY, our 7 athletes all showed competitive results with Bella Gigone placing 15th in Giant Slalom.

With the end of the season colliding with the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our foreign athletes were forced to take hurried flights home making some goodbyes quite short, and our end of year banquet was cancelled. However, we made the most of the situation!
Awards were still announced, and our very own Bella received Rookie of the Year! We were also able to somewhat makeup the banquet with a Virtual Ski Team Banquet connecting everyone from many time zones and many countries!

All in all, given the circumstances, we had a very successful end to our season. We couldn’t have done it without you, thank you for your support!
