The season closed on yet another successful season for the Boston University Ski Team. The Womens team ended up winning the Thompson division, placing first in 8 of their ten regular season races, which qualified them for USCSA Regionals. The womens team was lead by dominant junior Mollie Zapata, along with an excellent starting performance by freshman Teagan Lukacs and help from verteran senior Charlotte Deleo. The Mens team placed 3rd in the regular season and even placed 1st in the slalom at Killington with exemplary performances by senior Martin Douglass, along with juniors Tyler Picariello and Nick Vornlee. Their third place standing qualified the men for Regionals as well.

We wish the graduating seniors of the Boston University Ski Team the best of luck for the future.
