Congratulations to the ski racers at the 2013 NCAA Skiing Championships! The races were contested on the slopes of Middlebury Snow Bowl and trails of Rikert Nordic Center in Ripton, Vt.

While things were looking very good for UVM to take another title this year, they finished on the podium in third place. U Colorado and U Utah beat them out on the last day. Sigh.

The SkiMeister and I watched the last day of racing on Saturday. We saw the men's Nordic 20K freestyle and the women's 15K freestyle. We're posting images of each of these events on separate posts because there are quite a few images. Yeah, we're shutterbugs.
