When Chuck Carmone became the head coach of the Boston College skiing team, he did so under the premise that he could turn the Eagles into a national contender. He intended to build a program capable of competing with Vermont or Middlebury, and he charted a course to revolutionize BC's approach to the slopes in order to awaken a program overlooked by more traditional eastern powers.
He sought to change the team's identity and transition it over a few years, but the process inadvertently accelerated over the 2021 season when nationally-recognized powerhouses created a power vacuum amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
