This week, Blaise welcomes Hans Pessl ’22.5, a member of the men’s nordic team, on the podcast. A native of Bozeman, Montana, Hans grew up with a pair of skis on his feet. He describes how he first got into racing, how he honed his talent and how his skills ultimately qualified him for a coaching job with the Argentinian nordic team. Hans also explains Winter Carnival week from an athlete’s perspective, his favorite memories on the Middlebury team and his goals for the program.
