TRUXTON, N.Y.—The Hobart Alpine skiing team competed in week two of USCSA action on Labrador Mountain over the weekend. The Statesmen raced to a second place finish out of 13 teams in Saturday's slalom before Sunday's giant slalom race was canceled due to the winter storm. Hobart remains in first place in the USCSA Mideast Conference standings with four points.
