Knee injuries are rough. Hope you’re healthy!

Good luck on your season! Pretty much the key to anything will be getting your points down. If you’re applying for admission in Fall 2013, obviously your lower points won’t be part of your application, but it shows dedication and if you talk with the ski team it can’t hurt.

That said, even if they won’t give you a tip (and my guess is they won’t with your current point profile), if your points are relatively low, the D1 team will likely let you train with them (probably as a “JV” skier, depending on your points, of course), which can’t hurt, as long as you get into the College, which is no easy feat.

I don’t really have anything to add. Talk to Chip (and/or Peter Dodge, the head coach and men’s alpine coach). That’s really the best source of information. Good luck! Skiing at Dartmouth is a phenomenal experience and it’s cool to join a program with a history of excellence.
