Vol. 6: The Ferri Family Alpine and Nordic Skiing Locker Rooms

The Ferri Family Alpine and Nordic Skiing Locker Room serves as the year-round home to Colby skiers. Complete with twelve waxing stations, a separate coaches' waxing and tuning area and ventilation over each bench, skiers and coaches will be able to efficiently prep for events in a space with cleaner air. Additionally, equipment lockers in the waxing area and separate male and female changing areas provide ample space for athletes to store their gear and prepare, in one central location, to compete.

"The Ferri Family Alpine and Nordic Skiing Locker Room is the biggest upgrade for our team and puts us on par with the very best teams in the country. With the efficiency and space for tuning and waxing, ventilation system, coaches room, in-room ski locker storage, the place is impressive. We also have our team locker rooms for workout gear, bathrooms, and showers all in the same place. The space is amazing."
