February 24, 2021 | Skiing
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The Boston College ski team competes in a pair of EISA carnivals over the next four days. The Eagles travel to Lake Placid for the St. Lawrence Carnival at Whiteface Mountain with the women's giant slalom on Thursday (Feb. 25) followed by the men's GS on Friday (Feb. 26). BC then hosts its first carnival in program history on Saturday (Feb. 27) and Sunday (Feb. 28) with slalom races at Proctor Academy in Andover, New Hampshire.

BURKE RECAP
Senior Parker Biele made history two weekends ago as the first Boston College skier ever to reach the podium at an EISA event, doing so with second place at the EISA Burke Alpine Carnival hosted by UVM in Vermont. With temperatures dropping as low as -14 degrees at the starting gate, Biele competed in a pair of giant slalom races, placing fifth in the opening race and second overall in the second. The captain's fourth and final run of the day (1:02.90) was the fastest in the entire field at Burke Mountain.
Â
In the men's GS races the following day, freshman Zach Simmons led the Eagles with a pair of top-10 finishes in his EISA debut. Simmons was fourth overall in the first race following an incredibly consistent performance and finished eighth in the second event. Rookie Matthew Smallhouse took ninth place in the first men's GS race for the second-best male finish of the weekend. Biele and Simmons helped the Eagles finish third as a team in three of the four races, and second overall in the second women's GS race behind UVM.

A LOOK BACK
Boston College opened the 2019 EISA alpine season with the St. Lawrence Carnival at Whiteface in Lake Placid. The BC women's team took seventh place in the giant slalom with three top-40 finishers, led by Biele as a sophomore in 18th place overall. Current captains Madeline Davis, Chris Bertram and Trent Gutstein also gained valuable experience on the Whiteface slopes at the carnival.

Qualifying skiers will compete in the NCAA Championships next month, which is set to be hosted by the University of New Hampshire at Cannon Mountain on March 10-13.
