Middlebury's Bailey and UVM's Lindstoel are the first 2022 EISA skiers of the week!

After a successful first carnival, hosted by Colby at Sugarloaf Mountain last Friday and Sunday, two skiers have emerged as the skiers of the week after exemplary performances in both the slalom and GS races. New skiers of the week are calculated based on best overall performance in that week's carnival both the slalom and GS disciplines.
