Nicky Coker and Reid Jackson • December 19, 2025

As winter approaches, everyone starts getting excited about the upcoming ski and snowboard season. Athletes are spending more time on the slopes while bonding with teammates and making new friends.

“My favorite part about the team is hanging out with friends while on the mountain,” said sophomore snowboarder, Jenevieve Jacky.

Along with Jacky, many athletes feel the same way. The ski and snowboard team isn’t just about competition—it’s about building a community.

Whether riders are carving down the mountain, warming up in the lodge, or cheering each other on during races, the atmosphere is filled with support and excitement. As the first snowfall approaches, the enthusiasm on campus is impossible to miss. Everyone is eager to get back on the mountain, push themselves, and make memories with teammates who often become close friends.
