The Pingry ski team, led by Rosemary Collins (VI), Emmy Baird (VI), Narayan Murti (VI), and Tobey Jay (V), is looking forward to another successful season when they return to the slopes this winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team will, naturally, experience some slight disruptions: Pingry\u2019s typical mountain, Mountain Creek, has banned events due to COVID-19. Moreover, chairlift and spectator capacities are expected to decrease. Nonetheless the captains are hoping for a relatively normal season: \u201cthere are other great mountains in the area that will accommodate us,\u201d Collins said. \u201cOther than that, I don\u2019t anticipate that COVID will affect us much since ski racing is by nature a socially distant sport.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team hopes to pick up where they left off last year, with both boys and girls performing incredibly well, and the girls\u2019 team winning both Giant Slalom and Nonpublic state titles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m very excited for this ski season, and optimistic that even though things will certainly be different, we will have a fantastic year,\u201d Collins said. \u201cSince my freshman year, our numbers, enthusiasm, and success have been steadily growing and I\u2019m confident that will only continue. We\u2019ve been working really hard and regardless of what this season looks like logistically, this team is like a family, and we will make the best of it by doing our best together.\u201d
