Harvard Nordic Views CSU Head Coach Rob Bradlee's Chest Hair

That's right, pterodactyls, chest hair. Last night, illustrious head coach of the Cambridge Sports Union's rockstar junior team (many of whom are posting impressive results at JOs right now), raced in a slick, bell-bottomed, one-piece disco suit unzipped to his belly button. There were hip thrusts when he received his medal for the Tuesday Night race series.

But seriously, ski friends, last night, Audrey, coaches Scushman and City, and myself raced with more characters than usual in CSUs final Tuesday night costume race extravaganza! Think 'clown on high fluoros,' a beekeeper, 60-year-old Harry Potter, scuba man in full wetsuit, tank, and cardboard flippers, santa with a backpack full of teddy bears, a single Blues Brother, and Andy Milne in a white retro uni. And, of course:

Richard Simmons, Just-look-at-those-snowpants, and the Dairy Fairy!

Honorable mention to Anna's headband, Tor's mini Fischers, Cara for loaning me her boots. Every other piece of clothing courtesy of your's truly (and don't worry, I also made Audrey race sans jacket. Not shown, Chris City, sporting the old purple Harvard suit, pants, and jacket. I can't tell you how many times my udder got felt up. But at least I won a hat for it!

Love,

P.S. In other news, Dave makes the same noise waking up as when he jumps out from behind doors and tries to scare Shannon and Clare. I know because ski fan Kyra Hill and I bought him a late night thesis care package of double stuffed Oreos, gummies, and Red Bull, only to find him asleep. Good to see that sleep still remains a high priority even in times of stress. Although I don't think he was sleeping in a Snuggie.

Fan shout out! Badman, Matt Coogan, and sister superfans Alyssa and Kyra Hill at Dartmouth!

Help a Friend in Need, Buy a Snuggie....

Confused? Don't be! See this plea for help from a true Harvard Skiing Fan; she specifically requested that we post her email on our blog to help make do on her "terrible blunder".

It's okay, Tami. Harvard Skiing <3's you. Forever and always.

Dear all,

Many of you have heard about "the snuggy" on infomercials and various other enriching programs. Recently, I thought I would take advantage of their "buy one get one free" offer online. Unfortunately, pure greed and misunderstanding led me to a terrible blunder. After I thought I had placed my orders, it seemed as though they were offering to give me 3 more free snuggies. "3 more free snuggies?!" i thought, and I clicked yes (absolutely). Instead, what they charged me for, was 4 sets of snuggies, totaling $125. When I saw this, I realized a) why americans are stupid b) why i am a stupid american and c)that i have learned my lesson about ordering from infomercials. never again (with the one exception being that hair braiding device I've had my eye on). I currently have 8 snuggies.

anyway, as i don't want to deal with the pain in the ass of mailing all of these f-ers back-- which i will do post-thesis. I wanted to extend to you the very special (risk free) opportunity of buying a snuggy off of me. I will only charge you $10 dollars for them and the first person to respond will get a free book light (it came with my snuggies).

If I can get 6 people to respond, I will not mail the snuggy's back and I will cut my losses.

If you are unsure of what a snuggy is exactly, please see here: https://www.getsnuggie.com/flare/next

Chloe, please spare me of your mocking, the pain is already great enough.

Peace be with you,

Tami

Tor was yet again disappointed by the lack of crunchy french toast wrapped in bacon this weekend

What a fantastic season! I personally have learned so much this season and hope to learn so much more. While my results may have been lower than what I would hope for (no DFL's though), I still had a great time. At times I definitely felt that this guy could have given me run for my money:



This was rather disheartening at first, but has now set my resolve to get faster and all around better at skiing in the upcoming months and years. I will hope to be able to ski like this for at least a little while in the future:



No but seriously, this team is amazing and I hope everyone comes back next year (yes that includes Dave and Anna). I will now leave you all with a video that will hopefully change Audrey's opinion of Peter Northug:
