It’s happening! This week, 24 teams from across the nation will gather in Rio Linda, CA at Bell Acqua Lakes for the Syndicate Skis 2019 Collegiate Nationals.

An exciting time for all making the trek out to California. As each team aims to strike gold, make sure you are snappin’ and postin’ updates on your progress.
