Williams College skiing is not part of the NESCAC athletic division either, but has a full varsity program (nordic and alpine) competing on the EISA circuit, so the MIAC argument is a poor excuse. Save the ski team! P.S. Three US Ski team members are recent college graduates, underlining the importance of collegiate skiing as a pipeline for the US Ski Team.

Skiers are some of the best students you can have at your institution. You want them around. Keep the ski team!!

Skiers are a group of people who work hard give as much as they can and ask for little in return. Gustavus deserves all our support.

End your program and it will be one less school I'll be checking out for my two sons to attend in 2015 and 2017

I am signing this as a Gustie Alum and as the aunt of one current Gustie skier and her sister who hopes to be part of the team next year.

Nordic Skiing has some of the highest quality students and is a lifelong sport. Please reconsider and keep the team!

I'm a 1991 graduate. Please keep Nordic Skiing as a varsity sport at GAC!

This is just wrong, shortsighted and unjust. GAC can afford this team !

Unbelievable. No way that such a fantastic sport should be cut for such terrible reasons

Getting rid of probably one of the best sports in the world makes me sad. Nordic skiing is the hardest sport i have ever done (and i have done plenty).

I have trouble with the argument that it does not fit into the "future plans of our school." Gustavus has strong ties to Sweden which is known to be "into" cross country skiing.

This is an important part of the Gustavus experience.
