I just wanted to make sure that everyone is aware that UNR is
hosting NCAA nationals for skiing next week. This should be a great
event and I am sure the athletes would really enjoy a few extra
spectators (although I imagine there will be a lot of enthusiastic
people). The NCAA race circuit is extremely competitive (well I
know it was 5 years ago and probably still is currently) with
athletes that compete on the world cup circuit and in the Olympics,
which means if you go you will see some amazing skiing. UNR
qualified a total of eight athletes for nationals (3 alpine and 5
nordic). Nationals begin on March 11th and end on the 13th. Sugar
Bowl will be hosting the alpine events and Auburn ski Club (located
at Donner Summit, at the end of the Boreal parking lot) will host
the nordic events. Winter is obviously still here so why not enjoy
it and support UNR athletes. If you want more info. go to this link

or the UNR athletics page.
If anyone is a member of the topica group could you forward this
message. Thanks.
Enjoy the snow!
