Simi Hamilton makes the Olympics

Huge congratulations to one of our own here in Aspen, Simi Hamilton, who has just been named to the U.S. Olympic Team for cross country skiing. Hamilton helped secure his spot on the team by both, winning the U.S. championship earlier this month, and by winning the sprint qualifier at the U23 World Championships in Germany earlier this week. Although he was taken out by some fellow competitors and a bad glue job on his pole grip in the subsequent heats, Simi must have shown enough speed to garner the final spot available to the United States. Once again, huge congrats to Simi!!
