LYME, N.H. – February 9, 2019 – Colby-Sawyer first-year Nikos Tziovas (Thessaloniki, Greece) posted his top finish of the season by finishing in 17th to lead the men's alpine ski racing team at Saturday's slalom race held at the Dartmouth Skiway.  

After yesterday's giant slalom was postponed to next weekend, the Chargers braced the windy conditions at the Dartmouth Skiway. Due to the dangerous winds, the competitors had to hike or were pulled by/rode a snowcat to the top of the hill to the start gate. Colby-Sawyer finished 10th with 76 points.
