Now that the winter season has come, many students have become excited for winter break and snow. However, no one is more excited then the ski team for the snow this year. Coach White and Coach Heerschap are happy to announce the new captains. This year senior Mike Stabile and junior Collin Timony are the captains of the ski team. Mike Staible mentioned what he was looking forward to this year for the team, “A lot of new snow, having a lot of fun due to being my last year and of course winning a few races.”

This year the ski team has grown to 21 racers, eight returning from last year and twelve new racers. Having a larger team with a co-ed sports allows the team to have more spirit. Timony commented about all the activities the team does to create team bonding. “All the pasta parties we have with the team, eating steak and going rock climbing.” While I was interviewing the team, Coach White was handing out Secret Santa names, which I thought was one of the best ideas for a team bonding.
The Ski Team first race starts January 3, 2015 at Mountain Creek at 3 pm. Before the race, the team will be getting ready to fight for the gold. Come out a support the West Milford Ski Team.
