<p>I have a GT to Cornell which I might use. I'm a good skier but I've never seriously raced before. I was wondering how serious the ski team is? I know there's a Varsity and JV and I know I'm good enough to do JV but I'm not sure of Varsity so I was hoping someone could give me an idea of how serious it is. Also would it be possible as a transfer student to join a fraternity and be on the ski team or is it too much of a time commitment? Thanks</p>
<p>It’s not very serious and definitely accessible to somebody who hasn’t raced before. It’s also a club team, not a varsity team.</p>
<p>If you join both the ski team and a fraternity, it’s definitely doable, but you probably wouldn’t have much left for academic ECs.</p>
<p>the ski team website said that attendance to all practices isn’t mandatory (as they know that it’s hard to balance a sport and a rigorous coarse-load) but that Varsity members are expected to make a certain amount. Type in ‘Cornell Ski Team’ in google, and it will bring up a cornell.edu page for the team, where you can find more information.</p>
