The recent history of the Boston College ski program is a trip through a glass ceiling's cracked shattering. A team that once showed up to carnivals and simply competed among eastern powerhouses grew into a head-to-head, pound-for-pound skiing tradition, and a proud tradition dating back over the decades helped build the backdrop of a team-based approach to a sport known for individual accomplishments.
It found breakthrough avenues against some of the nation's most glamorous skiing programs and discovered methods capable of rooting in national success. Carter Robertson was the first domino as the first-ever skier to qualify for the NCAA Championships, and Parker Biele joined him one year later as the first female to compete at the national level.
