On Thursday, the team traveled to
Craftsbury Outdoor Center for the Dartmouth College Carnival, hosted in
conjunction with the Craftsbury USSA Supertour, which brought some of the best
domestic racers to Vermont for the weekend.
When we arrived, we did our usual course
preview, getting a nice tour of the Craftsbury FIS Homologated loop.
Afterwards, though, rather than just packing up and leaving for the night, as is almost often the case after arrival, a large portion of the EISA community remained, waiting patiently in the stadium until 4:15. It was at that time when Dartmouth seniors Annie Hart and Erik Fagerstrom led the group into the woods for a touching memorial to former Big Green skier Torin Tucker, who passed away at Craftsbury the weekend before, during the marathon.
