The Project:

This project was created as a part of a Williams College Environmental Studies senior seminar taught by Prof. Nick Howe in the spring of 2019. Check out other projects from this class here.

The Author:

My name is Ingrid Thyr (Williams ’20) and I’m an Environmental Studies and Mathematics double major and a member of the Nordic Ski Team. I am from Minneapolis, MN and like many of those interviewed for this project, I grew up skiing with my family, albeit reluctantly for the first ten years of my life. My email is [email protected].

Acknowledgements:

This project would quite literally have not been possible without all of the interviewees generously sharing their time and their thoughts. So, HUGE thank you to David Dethier, Jason Lemieux, Ellen Crane, Peter Murdoch, Rachel Coffield, Donald Campbell, Lew Fisher, and David Newell for all of their help with this project. Thank you also to Prof. Howe and my classmates for their advice and insight in bringing this project to fruition.

Thanks for reading!
