ASU Ski Tournament

USD Ski Team — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 03:41:52 +0000

Barstow, CA - After a weekend of skiing and a not so successful Saturday of skiing, the ski team rebounded from initial upsets on Sunday. For the women’s jump team, Katie Smith single handedly placed the team in 4th place after landing 4 jumps (one re-ride for judge’s error). In men’s jump, all three jumpers, Ryan Fisher, Adam Jones, and Chris Blay, landed 2 out of 3 recorded jumps, all of which were their first times landing a jump in the event. The team looks to carry Sunday’s success into next weekend’s Regional Championships in Chico, CA.

Why I Joined The USD Ski Team: The team is dedicated to becoming the best skier/boarder/jumper/trick-person that they can; everyone is supportive and more than willing to help. Tournaments offer a chance to hang with other college kids from the entire West Coast and meet the most chill people this side of the Rockies. We work hard and have a ton of fun doing it.
