Through two consecutive years of strong recruiting, Colby head coach Mark Godomsky has managed to put together a winning team capable of competing against the top Division I teams in the country and dominating the eastern racing circuit. The men's team returns NCAA qualifiers Robert Saunders, Warner Nickerson, and Charlie Reed. Saunders earned All-American honors in the giant slalom. In addition the men's team will look for Kristian Knights '04 and Tyler Rowe '05 to help the Mules improve upon last year's results. The women's team returns a strong group led by All-American sophomore twins Abbi and Jenny Lathrop. In addition to the Lathrops, returning skiers Nicole Wessen, Caitlin Healey, Melina Markos '06, and Katie Lucas '06 will help the women's team work hard to improve on last season's results. "I'm excited for next year," Godomsky said. "We have a great group of athletes. They love to ski and work hard at becoming the best ski racers they can be." Program Overview
Colby's attraction cannot be summed up to a single factor, but is the result of the ski program's overall advantages. Colby's dry-land program begins in September with an off-snow workout scheduled five days a week. Colby's ski training is based out of Sugarloaf/USA - one of the premier eastern resorts for snowmaking, size, and terrain. Having on-snow training based out of Sugarloaf means Colby's skiers usually can start training the first week of November. In addition to the early on-snow training program, Colby holds two intense six-day, on-snow camps to work on ski technique.
Colby's academic schedule is another huge advantage for the program. Students enjoy a short term during the month of January where students take only one class. Colby's Jan Plan provides ski team members with free time for training and racing throughout January - the heart of the carnival ski circuit. With so many advantages it is not surprising that Colby's ski program has had so much success at both USSA/FIS events and in the Division I carnival circuit.
