We’re ramping-up to the ’23/’24 season, but many of our skiers have actually been hard at work for months on end. Two MNC skiers are actually members of the National Teams for skiing and biathlon, respectively.
Ava officially announced as US Ski Team member
While she was announced as a nominee for the US Ski Team this spring, it wasn’t until last week that Ava was formally announced as a member of the team. You can read the press release here.
After a record-breaking career as an MNC Junior, Ava had a breakout freshman year at Dartmouth before returning to MNC to train with our MNCU collegiate group this summer. Ava is spending her fall semester training with some pretty quick skiers (such as Jessie Diggins and Julia Kern) at SMS T2.
Suffice to say, Ava has surrounded herself with strong skiers and different experiences that will no doubt help her continue to make new strides going forward!
