6th Trip to Royal Mt. - Our Season Has Ended.

Well guys, the season's over for us - for better or for worse. For a few weeks it was looking like spring would arrive early, however reality has a stubborn way of always reappearing. I enjoyed skiing with each and every one of you this year. You are all "cut from a different mold" than your fellow classmates. Celebrate your "different-ness"...

The 2006 slideshow will be held the first Friday after we get back from winter break. I'll buy the pizza, you bring $1 if you want a copy of the DVD.

5th Trip To Royal - Another Spring Day in February

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY AND FORTY DEGREES! THESE TWO ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO TOGETHER!

4th Trip to Royal - Spring Skiing in January?

So what's up with the weather this week? The temperature was pushing 40F and then... the rain. But let's not forget the sleet (that's frozen rain drops for all you non-Earth Sciencers out there). Very painful to the eyes and face that sleet is - evil stuff. But putting all the uncomfortable conditions aside, you have to admit that the snow was pretty amazing this week. Great for making snowballs too! Of course I don't really know anyone in the club mean enough to through a few slushballs at someone else...

3rd Trip To Royal - Stark Contrast to Last Week

Although our numbers were small this week, we still had a great time. Ross gave us a scare with his post jump fall (we think he just wanted to make it down the Royal the easy way - in a ski patrol sled!) but eventually he went on to perfect his turns on the bunny slope.

I handed over the camera to Tiegan and Chelsea for a bit and they managed to get some nice photos - I especially liked the one of the shadow.

For those of you who couldn't make it today - for whatever reason - now you know that a lack of snow in Fort Plain doesn't mean the mountain is closed! Got Snowmaking?

2nd Trip To Royal Mt. - "A Test of Toughness"

Temp: CCCold.
Wind: Gusting over 30mph!
But you guys and gals toughed it out!

Nice job today - We held off the frostbite and gained some much needed respect for old mother nature. Now stop reading and send this blog some of your own comments - or else...
