Alpine Ski Team, 1987, photo 1

This image shows one of the members of the Appalachian State ski club, the Alpine Ski Team, falling into the snow while skiing on a slope in 1987. Other skiers can be seen in the background. The ski team at Appalachian State first appeared during the 1969-1970 school year. In 1985-86, it consisted of twenty-seven Appalachian State University students and was partially funded by the Alpine Ski Center and fundraising efforts. It received no direct funding or endorsement from the University due to the risk of liability and injury. The Alpine Ski and Snowboarding teams are now official Appalachian State clubs and are part of University Recreation. This image appears in the 1987 Rhododendron (p. 373).
