Ski Day

Here is our team about to take their assault on the ski resort. Their mission leave no jump or run unskied.

Sir Edmund Hillary said, "It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves." But, what if we are not out to conquer, what if we are just out for the sheer rush of the wind on our face, the glistening snow beneath our skies and all we want to do is be filled with joy as our bodies race down the mountain on a run called Flying Squirrel??

This might be, perhaps, the funnest way to conquer a mountain. Here are some pics from our perfect ski day @ Sun Balley (how Zach says it) 2009 ski trip:


Jake skiing it up. He took one of the hardest crashes. Got right up, got chastised by his grandpa, and a hit another jump within ten seconds.

Taylor putting some wind in his sails.
