Is skiing a good differentiator

My kids raced out of Beaver Creek, but stopped late middle school because they couldn’t stay competitive with the locals. My knowledge comes from talking to the other parents, so take it for what it is.

Where does your daughter rank nationally? Has she skied any major events to gauge herself against the competition? Especially in Colorado, Utah, California?

One parent mentioned to me that they were told by an admissions officer that skiing is a nice EC, but it’s viewed more as a vacation/ fun EC. Obviously it’s a ton of work, but that’s what they were told. My oldest daughter found it to be an interesting thing to talk about during interviews.

Going all the way to Europe to ski in November sounds questionable. I’d want to know the snow conditions because regular skiing can be iffy in November. If there is a course with snowmaking because of a race that’s great. My kids often raced the Birds of Prey course at BC before/after the races even when the rest of the mountain was iffy.
