UNM Ski Team to livestream press conference
On April 13, the University of New Mexico announced that the ski team would be cut. According to the press release, the cuts will save the department approximately $600,000 per year in operating budget, scholarships and salaries. Since then, the team and ski community have been fighting to have the team reinstated for the 2017-18 season.
On Thursday at 2 p.m. MT (4 p.m. ET), the UNM Ski Team will host a press conference to address the issues behind the decision as well as the plan to have the team reinstated. The live stream will be available below.
