While many were celebrating Valentine’s weekend, the MSU Alpine Ski and Snowboard Teams traveled nine hours to Marquette Mountain on Friday, Feb. 12 to compete in the Mid-West Regionals competition. Thanks to the Men’s and Women’s Ski Team finishing in first place, as well as a first place finish by the Women’s Snowboard Team and a second place Men’s Snowboard Team at Divisionals the previous week, all four teams received berths to compete for the Regional championships in the Upper Peninsula.
Competitors faced temperatures down to -15 degrees for seven different events over the course of two days.
