...hirsute appendage of the upper lip, with graspable extremities.” At Harvard, Christopher S. Nabel ’08 possesses such a mustache, but his is not an effort of vanity—it’s one of practicality. Nabel, a member of the Harvard Nordic Ski Team, grew a beard to keep his face warm on the icy trails. “It’s really cool because it insulates your face,” he says. When Nabel’s ’stache reached epic proportions, a friend passed him the link...
...Harvard ski team, which did just that this weekend at the Eastern Championships. The Crimson has met with many challenges this season, aside from challenging strong competition. Last weekend’s event brought on punishing weather, and this weekend brought more trouble, as the Alpine and nordic teams were forceably split from each other. The Alpine team remained in the championship’s usual location at the Middlebury Snow Bowl and the nordic team traveled to Craftsbury, Vt., to compete at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. “It definitely detracted from the happenings that usually occur...

Vermont won the carnival, posting 815.0 points to overcome second-place Middlebury College (788.0) and the Big Green (747.0). The Crimson finished with 256.0 points, tallying just over half the score of eighth-place St. Lawrence (504.0). Harvard’s best events...
...Harvard alpine and nordic ski teams this 2006 season, nine has been a lucky number. Coming off a ninth-place showing in the first event of the season at the St. Lawrence Carnival, the Crimson repeated the feat last weekend, finishing ninth at the Vermont Carnival at Mount Mansfield Saturday. Although ninth place may not appear to be a huge success for the young Harvard ski program, the back-to-back ninth place performances are a step in the right direction. “We’re a growing program moving forward against incredibly formidable teams, with skiers that...
