Kawakahi Amina / The Dartmouth Staff While Hanover may be well known for its snowy white winters, this year the Big Green was the dominant hue of the season when the Dartmouth ski team brought home the top national prize, a feat that headlined an impressive year for athletics at the College. Big Green skiers plowed through the regular season to win the NCAA team championship in Bartlett, N.H., marking the first time a Dartmouth varsity team has won a national title since 1976.
