Skier Spotlight:
"The hill today definitely required aggressive skiing," said junior Chesley Smith (Stowe, Vt.). "Everyone was getting after it and looking for speed all day long. For myself, after a decent first run I felt like I was able to press the gas and be aggressive on second run. I think we are all excited to keep building into the second half of the season."

Up Next:
The Chargers will head to Waterville Valley Resort for their next carnival hosted by Harvard University with giant slalom on Friday, February 10^th and slalom on Saturday, February 11th each scheduled to start at 9:00 AM.
