Arriving at the top of the blue lift at 9am, the
view was spectacular. This was the first time many of us had skied on natural
snow. There was 12 inches of new natural snow. |

Scoutmaster Mr. Whitcher (with the red hat) takes
a ride up the rope tow. This is the site for the ski school, and Mr. Whitcher
was taking a lesson. |

On the left is Mr. Whitcher. In the center are Andrew
Trull and Justin Webb, and to the right is Mr. Dunn, all taking a lesson.
It apparently did little good for Mr. Whitcher, who broke a finger later
that day.

In the line for the yellow left we see Neil Link and Brian
Block. Because of the spectacular ski conditions, this lift was very crowded
all day.

Andrew Trull and Justin Webb practice their moves in front
of the rope tow. They had just completed ski school.

By mid morning, it had started snowing. First, at
the top of the mountain, and then later at the lodge. By the time we left
at 5 pm, there was several inches of new snow. From the gray left,
you could see the snow falling, and the crowded slopes leading to the yellow
lift. |

Aditya Devalapalli was prepared with his "interesting"
hat. It was never more than 15 degrees outside.

The camera lens fogged up as we entered the cafeteria
to warm up. Ryan Spain and Andrew Dunn had come inside for warmth as well. |

After a harrowing trip back to Boone (17 miles),
and the aborted attempt to return home, we watched "Lost In Space" and
then slipped into our sleeping bags. |
