2012-2013 Season Welcome!


Welcome back Friends of St. Olaf Skiing. We are glad you are back for another great season of skiing.
Our first day of school was the 6th of September and we are thrilled for another year on the hill. This past year we lost four great ole skiers: Nick, Kathleen, Max, and Genette. They will be greatly missed, on and off the ski hill. However, with every loss senior we always gain new freshmen. On the men’s side of the team we gained Lars Midthun and Grady Gores. On the women’s side we gained Laura Post, Nathalie Kenny, and Lisa Koetke. The energy on the team this year is great, we are eager for the season to start!

This past weekend the Ski Team hosted its annual golf tournament with a record turnout of 20+ people. The tournament was held at Wilinger’s and got off to a chilly start with the temperatures in the 30’s for tee-off. It turned out to be a gorgeous sunny day. Nate Hansen and Aaron Stenhaug won the tournament at -9, with the next best pair, Kevin Cook and Uros Pavlovcic, finishing at -5.
Thanks to all that made!

After golf we headed over to former ski coach Paul Wojick house for a Nordic and Alpine picnic. It was a great way for past alum to mingle with current ski team members. Thanks to Paul and his wife for being such great hosts!
The weekend created a great opportunity for all current and past skiers to get to know each other. If you did not get to make it this year, we would love to have you join us next year!
This year the St. Olaf Ski Team introduced a new fundraiser. We are excited for our new fundraiser, which will let the entire team have an active role in sharing our growth on the blog. We hope you get the chance to follow us this year!
Let it snow!
