Just another training day for the Utah Ski Team, pictured here at Lake Mary in Big Cottonwood Canyon last fall. With hikes like this within 45 minutes from campus, you might say U students are a bit spoiled. “The Wasatch Mountains provide an epic playground of endless training opportunities,” says Miles Havlick BS’13, head Nordic coach. “The ski team is outside more often than not.” And that’s precisely what appeals to students like Samuel Hendry, a sophomore and Nordic skier from Canada. “There’s nothing I love more than getting out for a ski tour at Gobblers Knob before class or going for a run in Millcreek afterward,” he says. “I look forward to three more years of adventures in the Utah outdoors.”
