Ski team competes at Bates
The Dartmouth men's and women's ski team kicked off their season last weekend with a third place finish at the Bates Winter Carnival. Dartmouth finished with 527 points, but the Big Green were well off the pace of the top two finishers, the University of Vermont and the University of New Hampshire, which finished with 585 and 584 points respectively. The men's nordic team began the weekend Friday, by finishing a disappointing fifth place in the three by five kilometer skating relays. The women did not fair much better in their race, as they also earned a fifth place finish. "The nordic teams really had a rough weekend because of the weather and all of the injuries," Andy Martin'96 said. The alpine teams did considerably better on Saturday and actually took home two individual titles. Jen Collins '99 began her collegiate career in style with a victory in the women's slalom and a time of 88.34 seconds.
