The St. Olaf men's alpine ski team battled through weather to take seven of the nine top individual finishes at the Slalom and Giant Slalom races this weekend at the Loch Lomond FIS competition.
Despite thick fog, heavy rain, and below zero wind chills, the Ole men found themselves on the top positions of the podium for every race throughout the weekend. Haakon Schonheyder had dominant performances finishing first in the Giant Slalom, second in the first Giant Slalom, and first in the Slalom race. Senior Nate Hansen finished in the top three for all of his races.
Florian Weil came back to edge out teammate Schonheyder by .01 seconds for the victory in the second Giant Slalom.
After the weekend of success, the Oles look towards their next competition, a USCSA College race at Mt. LaCrosse in Wisconsin this coming weekend.
