Alpine is a current member of the Gliding Glaciers, joining the team in 2021 and has been the captain since then. Alpine was recruited by Coach Glide in Old Zeldan when they were competing for the Foresters in The Bourne Network. They debuted in the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers along with the other members of the team.
Alpine is widely known for their amazing performance in Sand Rally, which not only helped the team qualify for Marble League 2021, but also built the team's momentum in the final few events of the main tournament. Led by Alpine, the team pulled a miracle by scoring 55 points in the last three events, jumping up eight spots and finished in 3rd, therefore finishing on the podium and auto-qualifying for Marble League 2022. Alpine participated in three individual events and scored a total of 31 points, including the team's only gold.
History[]
2021[]
Candy, the captain of the Jawbreakers, called up Glide shortly after the Marble League Winter Special. The team was planning on retiring and wanted to inform the Glaciers of the news first due to the Glacier's original rejection. Glide thanked Candy for the opportunity to take their place but declined. Glide later had an idea to recruit a new team to compete in their name. Glide told the rest of the team and they all supported the decision, with Glacie offering their home in Glidavik as a place for the new members to stay.
Glide traveled across Marblearth looking for new members to reform the Gliding Glaciers. The first member Glide recruited was Alpine from Old Zeldan, an island off the coast of Oceania, who was competing in The Bourne Network for the Foresters. The second member was Frost from Vanillsinki who was competing in the Marble Sports Games in Philamarblia for the Valiant Vanillas. The third member was Polarfrom Marblyland who was competing for the Orcas. The fourth member was Iceberg from Bermenghank who was competing in the Marble Games for the Icebergs. The fifth and final member was Sheet from Sheetersburg. When Glide returned to Glidavik with the team, Glace offered to become manager of the team.
The team was invited by the Minty Maniacs to participate in the Herbotamia Invitational to test out the new team. The Glaciers finished in second overall behind the Solar Flares and ahead of the Yarble Yellers. While on the podium, a disguised marble appeared and revealed themselves to be Jelle Bakker. Jelle offered the top two teams a place in the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers to replace the Jawbreakers and the Hornets.
Marble League 2021[]
The Gliding Glaciers were placed in Group A in the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers, the same group as their rivals, the Snowballs. The two teams were put in the same heat in the first event, the Wave and Gliding Glaciers managed to beat the Snowballs and finished the event in fourth. A seventh-place-finish and an eighth-place-finish in the next two events dropped the team down to eighth, four points away from the qualifying zone. They decided to send their team captain, Alpine into the final event, the Sand Rally. Alpine finished second and it was enough for them to qualify by finishing fifth in this group, while their rivals, the Snowballs, failed to qualify.
Alpine clinching a silver in Sand Rally
The Gliding Glaciers had a a decent start to Marble League 2021, being in 2nd in the standings. However, three consecutive bottom-two-finishes came and the team fell from second overall to 14th. The competition started to improve again for the Glaciers with a second bronze medal in Block Pushing. This was followed by a string of top half finishes in three of the next five events, but this was not enough to lift the team out of 13th overall. The team was only mathematically possible to finish in top 3. At the Sand Rally, however, their captain Alpine got a surprising silver in a four-way photo finish, lifting them up to 11th overall. At Football, things went even better, as the team managed to win their first ever gold medal, propelling them even further up into 5th overall. In the final event, the Marblocross, they managed to get 6th which was enough to get them third in the overall standings, and therefore auto-qualifying them for Marble League 2022.
