The New Mexico ski team is out of town every weekend, regardless of whether or not the team is competing.
Although the two different squads—Alpine and Nordic—don’t practice together, they often compete at the same events, and are both contributors to the UNM ski brand.
Before the season makes way in the early fall, the Alpine squad for UNM’s ski team makes its way out to southern Colorado or any place that might have snow fall pre-winter, head coach Fredrik Landstedt said.
But the Alpine squad also practices during the school year, too. They head out to Red River every weekend when there’s not an event, to practice.
