Summit High School Alpine ski assistant coaches John McMurtry and Dylan Nicoletti heard the chatter among the 70-plus high school boys skiers, who were getting ready to race on a menacing 62-gate slalom course Thursday at Loveland Valley Ski Area.
It was a course McMurtry, a former U.S. Alpine Ski Team coach, said was “like a World Cup” with “really hard turns” where “you don’t feel good going down.”
“It seemed like the attitude up top was, ‘We’re cranking it out,’” Nicoletti said. “You’re not going to like it. It’s not going to feel good. But if you can crank it out back and forth, you have to be ready to fight all the way down.”

Freshman Chase Kelly had nothing to do with Aspen High School’s three previous state championships in boys skiing. He had a whole lot to do with the fourth one, won Thursday at Loveland Ski Area.
In an odd year where the Nordic races were held days earlier at an entirely different venue, the AHS boys Alpine team got their turn with the slalom and giant slalom races and turned the head start the Nordic skiers gave them in the team standings into a rout.
