competing well in junior Nordic rac-
ing. Brooks accepted the new role three
years ago and planted herself in White-
ish. She has skied since she was 2 years
old and her family remains passionate

about the sport. Brooks’ sister Holly re-
cently earned a spot on the American
Nordic ski team for the upcoming Win-
ter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
This winter she took over operating
the Glacier Glide, and she’s excited to
help carry on the event and club’s long

tradition.
“I love having all the community to-
gether,” she said. “It’s wonderful to see
and everyone is supportive.”
