Season outlook: The Spruce Mountain boys’ team has a group of six, and four of them have been skiing since they could walk. But with just six boys, they know they need to be prepared for the races. The girls’ team has a solid team of nine this year. With a lot of hard work during the preseaso, as well when they hit the snow for training, the girls have a good chance of improving on what they did last year.
