As athletes continue to arrive at the Center of Excellence in Park City, UT, a new batch of skiers will participate in summer training programs alongside elite skiers and snowboarders—the men from the National University Team (N-UNI). The newest branch of the U.S. Ski Team, the N-UNI team is made up of six men that will attend college while racing for the U.S. Ski Team.
Ski Racing interviewed Alpine Director Patrick Riml in May about the team, addressing questions about the pilot program. Now, Ski Racing took a look at the other side of the coin, interviewing university coaches Andy LeRoy, the head alpine coach of University of Denver, and Bill Reichelt, University of Vermont’s director of skiing and head alpine coach—both of whom have athletes named to the N-UNI squad.
