\t\t\t\tThe Bowdoin Alpine Team is getting ready to hit the slopes this year after a strong 2017 season.\u00a0 As the season neared its end, the team was neck and neck with rival school U-Maine Orono for the top spot in the USCSA Reynolds division, and it came down to the last race at home mountain Lost Valley.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the UBears came up short and just barely missed qualifying for the USCSA Eastern regional championships as a team.\u00a0 Emma Landes ’19 led the female Bears on the season, and Kyle Polson ’19 led the team on the men’s side.\u00a0 Landes barely missed qualifying for the championships as an individual by one spot, and Polson advanced as the Reynold’s division male qualifier.\u00a0 At Easterns, Polson\u00a0narrowly missed\u00a0qualifying for the USCSA national championships by one position to a rival skier from the Thompson division.<\/p>\n
This fall, the team has already begun to prepare for the upcoming season.\u00a0 With weekly dryland training sessions and several early season trips up to Sunday River and Sugarloaf, the Bowdoin Alpine Team is ready to charge into the 2018 season in full force, looking to qualify for the Eastern Regional Championships as a team for the first time since 2014.<\/p>\n
