UNH Jumps on Bloggin' Bandwagon
UNH is the latest team to fire up their blog for the season, just in time for Old Man Winter to finally kick in back East. You can learn all about their alpine coaches like the clutch new assistant they picked up, Hitchy, and a unique skill set Brian honed out in Colorado during early season training.
Brian Blank, ski coach extraordinaire and... bird whisperer?
Kasper Gives New Meaning to Sick Skiing
Did you happen to catch Eastern boy and Dartmouth student Nolan Kasper slay his way to 4th place in today's slalom at Beaver Creek? From the hospital to the high line, this guy made it look easy. Hope you feel better soon, buddy.
Watch the Universal Sports video of his second run sword swingin' move here.

Christianson & Frank Bring Williams to the World Cup
Charles Christianson (Williams '08) joins fellow alpine Eph alumnus Chris Frank '05 on the World Cup this season. Watch out for these purple cows!
SnowHunter™ Alpine Edition
In between all-nighter cram sessions for finals and pounding caffeine in a last-ditch effort to boost team GPAs for the fall term, EISA alpine athletes are also in the hunt for snow back on their home coast this weekend. It's a lot like Midway's SpyHunter for NES, but with more ammunition and bigger oil slicks.
Bates is leading the charge with nearby Sunday River boasting 11 trails, 3 lifts, and 66 acres of open skiing. But when the resort's 'Photo of the Day' is still a solitary snow gun in December, it's time to do a serious dance.
Dartmouth is also braving the guns at Killington, but they'll have to do some creative maneuvering around the general public and advanced scavenger hunting to find all 18 open trails to which the mountain report lays claim. Do you think this counts as a run?
Middlebury is staying optimistic despite the less than ideal coverage under the lift at Killington. Rock skis, anyone?
Hit us up @eisaskiing on Twitter to let us know where the rest of y'all are finding the white stuff this weekend. Best of luck on final exams!

FaceTime with Dartmouth & Williams Beards
Aylin Woodward (Dartmouth '15) wins this week's Gettin' After It Award for her up close and personal with a GS panel during training at Loveland. Apple's FaceTime App has got nothing on this woman.
And those Williams Ephs are at it as well with a blog of their own. This week we take a look at the Nordies who sported some serious No Shave November action at Bretton Woods over the holiday. Those beards look wicked fast, boys. Hope you found some snow in Quebec!
