HEAD FOR THE CHILLS Matthew Streicher ‘24 competes in a downhill race for his club team XLR8. “XLR8 has created a plan that they have successfully implemented with three high school ski teams in the past,” said Streicher. “With the forming of the Greenhills Ski team, a deal could be signed with XLR8 that would entitle the Greenhills team to gates, coaches, and most importantly, a ski hill. Once we are on our feet and can get our own coaches, then we move away from XLR8.”
