Alpine Skiing Coach Ed Hing (who is also teaches photography and digital video) reports that, despite the brutal temperatures on Wednesday, January 8, the Williston Northampton skiers had an awesome first race.

“Yes, it was insanely cold,” Mr. Hing wrote in an email. “Yes, the second varsity run was as icy as a skating rink. YES, WNS SKIERS ROCKED MISL ONE!!!”

The girls varsity placed second of eight, the boys varsity A team placed third of 12, the boys varsity B team placed six of 12, the JV girls placed second of four. See the full results at the Mount Institute Ski League website under “Race #1” on the top left.

“An amazing day for Williston Skiing,” wrote Mr. Hing. “This season is off to a great start. Congratulations (Snow Leopards?)”
