UBC's varsity alpine ski team had a dominating weekend at Brundage Mountain in Idaho Feb. 23, with both the men's and women's teams taking first place in the United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association (USCSA) divisional qualifier in Giant Slalom.
The women's team was led by Samantha Bisnaire, who finished first both days, while Ella Both came in third on Saturday and fourth on Sunday. Christina Donnelly came in sixth on Saturday and fourth the following day.
The men's team had all five athletes crack the top 10. Luke Terhart also came in first on both days, while Michael Bisnaire captured bronze on Sunday.
The Ski Birds, the lone Canadian university competing in the USCSA, have the next two weekends off before regional finals at Red Lodge, Montana, where they are hoping to earn a berth to the American national finals.
