(CONTINUED from PAGE 31) dynamic for a group of women who spend virtually every minute of the four-month World Cup season in one another’s company—in hotels, on car rides, during meals, on race courses and just being together during time off. Thousands of miles from home, they find empowerment in a team ethos, but the native Vermonters never lose a soulful, familial connection with their home state. Caldwell, Sargent and Stephen all talk of the iconic Vermont things they miss when away from home—the smell of sap boiling during sugaring season, the congeniality of general stores and a powerful sense of community. Sargent used to travel on the World Cup circuit with a bit of maple syrup—a kind of touchstone to connect with her home spirit—although she discontinued the practice after a syrup container burst inside her luggage (imagine that mess). Put simply, these skiers might leave Vermont, but Vermont never leaves them. As three of the best athletes in their sport, Stephen, Caldwell and Sargent are now national figures and leading lights in the world of skiing. Their time spent at home in Vermont has dwindled, giving way to time spent far and wide—to training time in Utah and other points West; to the many months on the World Cup circuit; to fundraising, coaching, speaking engagements, kids’ clinics, and other duties that go with being national team members. But their identity remains grounded in a Vermont upbringing and in Vermont values. They are pure Vermonters, children of winter. ❄ Vermonters have a little tougher skin. We are the type of people with that pure desire to really work hard. Photo: Ida Sargent. Courtesy of U.S. Ski Team. 34 SkiVermont.com
