Just a couple of quick points to make as you pack your gear for another great night at the mountain:
1. It will be freezing tomorrow night. 10 degrees at arrival, single digits by the time we leave. If you start to feel any numbness in your fingers, toes or face, bring yourself inside immediately. It'll be one of those nights where you may end up stopping inside to warm up a couple of times and that's ok. Bring extra layers and cover all bare skin to stay warm.
2. If you are leaving after your last exam, please be back at the studio at 1:45. I want to take our yearbook picture before we board and maybe we can get an early jumpstart toward the mountain. If you have your own car or you have a ride bringing you back at 1:45, I'm ok with you bringing your equipment in afterwards rather than in the morning - your choice. If you are staying through, you are more than welcome to head on over to the studio after 11:00 - just bring something to occupy yourself.
See you in the morning!

Week Two!
Hello all,
So we have found ourselves in the middle of a January thaw, completely opposite of last year of course. Some schools have cancelled due to there being a little less snow but as of today there are 20 trails open and temps stayed low and should stay low tomorrow so that means more room for us. Temps should be in the mid-30's with a slight possibility of a little snow later in the night!
Just a couple of things:
Remember to come to school tomorrow morning between 6:45 and 7:10 AM. This allows us to get you and your equipment safely to the studio before the hallways get packed. I'll have people helping once again and hopefully I won't run into any 6AM traffic jams.
I forgot to mention this in the past but everyone was really pretty good about it last week; save a dollar in your pocket so we can collect it afterwards for a tip for our driver. They do a great job and we want to thank them for it.
Finally, please remember to adhere to the rules of the mountain, the lodge, and the WB handbook which include no swearing, no speeding on Ralph's Run and Conifer Connection (family trails), if you must stop on a trail, pull off to the side and finally, stay off closed trails. Simple rules that are in place to keep you and everyone around you safe and having fun.
See you in the morning!
Oh, one last thing...we are leaving at normal time (2:05) next week during exam week.
