Meet the Sierra Nevada College Ski and Snowboard Teams

Resurrecting a popular SNC event from years past, this year’s Student Government Association will be hosting a “Meet the Sierra Nevada College Ski and Snowboard Team” reception on the SNC campus in Patterson Hall on Thursday, January 29th at 7 p.m. Not only will the SNC students, staff, and faculty get to know the student-athletes that earned national championships in both disciplines last year (athletes we hope will bring home the gold again in 2009), the entire Incline Village community is being invited to meet them as well! If you have a young family member, friend or neighbor who ski races, this will be a perfect opportunity for them to hear about the life of a college ski racer and get an autographed ski team poster for their room. Brownies, cookies, and hot chocolate will be served.

Sierra Nevada College Alumna, Josee Lacasse, Class of 1993, Canadian National Team Member, Collegiate National Champion for Sierra Nevada College, and now Head Ski Coach at Diamond Peak, will be our featured guest at this event. She will discuss her experience as a student-athlete at Sierra Nevada College and how her education prepared her for her current position as the head coach overseeing all ski racing at Diamond Peak. Meet Josee and all the student-athletes who continue the tradition of excellence in ski racing that has brought fame to SNC and Incline Village throughout the country for the past 17 years.
