Five skiers going up. Brian’s new sled has a wide track and a low gear, meaning it was a slow smooth trip up the usually manic sled track
Jared gives a tribute to Warren Miller
Chelsea and Karen get started on their way down
Aldrine and Elijah get ready to try their feet at cross-country skiing. Their track started across from the milk-jug curling rink, went around the snow-golf course, and finished just a few steps from the hot-dogs and cookies being served in the pavilion.
