Christianson commented that the conditions were challenging with a flat light and icy areas but the Ephs pushed through, “It was a pretty good day and the team is excited for next week. Some individual results weren’t quite whar we were hoping for. As a whole, the team skied inconsistent but fast and we’re ready for the next event.” Christianson also noted that freshman Annie Hanson was side swept in her second run and went about eight feet in the air, “She took a pretty good fall but she’ll be ready for next week.” The Williams ski team’s next event is at St. Lawrence, the team is racing January 18th and 19th.
