Navigating skiing and college in unprecedented times.
| Alice in Wonderland World Class Downhiller, Dartmouth Undergraduate, Baking Enthusiast, 23 Year-Old Navigating an Uncertain World in 2020. Alice Merryweather is all of these things. As a promising young skier on the United States Ski Team, Alice has rolled with the dramatic changes COVID-19 has forced the world to undergo while balancing training for the 2020-21 FIS World Cup season, pursuit of an Ivy League education, and, like all of us, exploring new hobbies as life as we knew it ground to a halt this past spring. While anxiety about an uncertain future would have given anyone perfectly good reason to take a break from pursuing a World Cup podium, however, Alice took some time to tell us about how she's found creative ways to train for the upcoming season, build a chair for an engineering class, and bake some banana bread, too. | | | Spyder: This spring was obviously unlike anything anyone's ever experienced. How did it change your plans?
Alice: I had come back to the US for US Nationals, and my plan was to get back up to Dartmouth for Spring classes, but that all got pushed remote. So, I packed up my car and drove out to Utah. I ended up just finishing up spring classes online, got into ski touring, and I've been in Utah or at ski camps since mid-March. | | | S: Has Dartmouth's move to online learning helped, or do you think it will help with being able to continue your studies in the future?
AM: Yeah, I think I'm one of the few people who is actually pretty psyched about being able to do classes remote, because Dartmouth doesn't have any kind of online infrastructure normally. It's been a silver lining to the whole [Covid-19] situation that I'm able to train really productively and focus on both skiing and school, instead of being at campus here my training is pretty restricted. | | | | | | | | | Please Unsubscribe if you do not want us to contact you any more with information about our goods and services.
