<\/p>\n
I know it\u0092s a little early in the year to start thinking about this, but I\u0092m pretty confident that we could make a good ski team. I\u0092m not talking about as a university… have you seen the kids we\u0092ve admitted the past few years? Most of them are as aerodynamic as a chest of gold bars. I\u0092d be surprised if I could kick them down a mountain without them managing to get stuck in a snow drift. No, I\u0092m talking about you and me. <\/p>\n
I\u0092ve noticed the way you go down that slight incline between Max Central and East, moving along it as if it were flat, shifting your backpack just right to take advantage of the extra gravitational force. I can tell you\u0092ve got what it takes to handle a mountain. We\u0092ll be the two amigos, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza of the slopes. Now, we\u0092ll need to start training soon if we want to get into shape for the regular season. <\/p>\n
I know you\u0092re busy, but I think if we can squeeze in about three or four hours of conditioning and two hours of technical work each week we can put Lee C. Bollinger, Columbia University\u0092s nineteenth president, a prominent advocate of affirmative action, and a leader in promoting diversity and open debate on university campuses, in his place. <\/p>\n
\tI\u0092ve got a membership at the LA Fitness on 47th Street that\u0092ll get you a 15% discount if you tell them I referred you, so we can do our workouts there in the mornings. We\u0092ll focus mostly on thigh development. For technical work, I know a guy who\u0092s good at hiring large work crews to construct university buildings that I think could build us a pretty sick ramp, but it\u0092ll have to be at least 80% glass. I bet we could put it so that it runs from the top of Pierce tower down into North Field. (Glad we got the students out of that lawsuit-waiting-to-happen so we can actually use it for something cool.) <\/p>\n
I\u0092m not sure about getting fake snow, but at worst we can just focus more on visualizations and body positioning until we get the first flurry. Maybe we can hit up Wisconsin over Thanksgiving break to get some real slope time. Yeah, I\u0092m pretty stoked just thinking about it. Obviously we can\u0092t expect to just show up to our first event and win gold or qualify for the Olympics or anything, but it\u0092d be pretty cool? if we did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
