Shame about last year, I think that the XC team really flamed out or perhaps didn't have the right wax or whatever. The alpine team performed amazingly well. XC needs to redeem itself this year.

For the major events there are temporary bleachers constructed at the finish with large video screens that show the entire hill/course. The NCAA doesn't go to these lengths for their championships. That being said, let's get people up there! It is free to attend (might have to hike/walk to venues), the atmosphere is electric, and it is a fun time. One of my favorite DU memories was going to the 2010 skiing championships up in Steamboat on the final day and celebrating our win with the athletes! I would love to help get people up there, cause you know I wouldn't miss our skiers bring home number 23!!Tim Healyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04121956847251436988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-77278244106659534312015-10-28T11:40:17.700-06:002015-10-28T11:40:17.700-06:00Agreed!
