Given a break from the poor weath- er of past years, the Army Ski Team took full advantage of the good snow this winter and ran a lot of gates and logged a lot of K ' s. The Alpine team was led by MVP Bill Sternhagen and had a very competitive season despite its large number of unsea- soned skiers. The Nordic team was overrun with talent this year. A ma- jor contributor was Nordic MVP Mike Derrick, who was closely fol- lowed by perennial strongman, Gary Southard.
