Coach: Bill Acritelli (third year)
Conference: KVAC; Class: B
Last year’s results: Boys placed fifth at states; girls finished third at states.
Returning athletes: Boys: Senior — Lucas Alley; Sophomores — Noah Gilbert, Joel Hussey. Girls: Juniors — Allison Acritelli, Madeline Timberlake, Kiarra Richards; Sophomore — Julia Pomeroy.
Key losses: Stephen Sylvester, Chad Richards, Shae Fortier, Sam Slovak and Veronica Davis
Promising newcomers: Boys: Sophomore — Hunter Quirrion; Freshmen — Gage Sampson, Jacob Paradis, Griffin Souther, Eugene Lindsay, Andrew Small. Girls: Grace Harmartys, Adria Plourde, Bailey Coates and Annabelle Collins.
Season outlook: The boys’ team is young, with only one senior. All of the incoming skiers have raced in middle school and should help the boys’ team this year in the KVAC. Four returning skiers from a third-place state team last year gives the girls’ team a solid background to start the year. The new skiers that joined the team this year have had plenty of hill time racing for Spruce Mountain Junior team.
