Nordic Ski Team
Barrett McCumby
The Valdez High School Nordic Ski Team had their first time trial of the season last weekend. The Buccaneers competed in a 4.7K classic race on the local nordic trails. Early snowfall allowed
the team to practice on skis much earlier this year, when compared to last year & late start. Many first year skiers are already showing admirable improvement in a short amount of time. Returning skiers are leading the team with a strong first showing of skills and effort. The skiers put together different classic techniques to complete the challenge. Hard work and toughness on the course gave the Bucs impressive early season times as a benchmark for improving throughout the new year.
Great job Buccaneers!
