Senior Spring: Fabian Stocek '17, from the cradle of skiing to the king of the hill
It couldn’t be more fitting: Dartmouth’s top cross-country skier hails from a town known as the “the Cradle of Czech Skiing.” Surrounded by a family of Nordic enthusiasts, Fabian Stocek ’17 discovered his passion for cross-country skiing at a young age in the small town of Jilemnice, one of the Czech Republic’s northernmost towns, right on the edge of the Krkonoše mountains. “My parents and relatives all did Nordic,” Stocek said.
