Final Day at Burke

The purple and gold panels and skiers glistened in the afternoon sunshine today. It was one of those days where your breath gets caught a bit by the crisp air. We had to take off the powdery snow on the surface but we got down to the hard stuff for our slalom session. Highlights: when Sarah got mad at me for continuing to video her after she had taken a bow out of the course before the final gates... At least it looked like she wasn't pleased with the situation. But alas, I think we are friends once again. John is unrecognizable in his new Poc attire and full sideburns. Merrit has learned to wear her snow pants suspenders. Annie's pink fleece is helpful in picking her out for video sessions. Jocelyn's parents hosted a wonderful dinner, complete with a warm fire, pigs in blankets and a Bormio DH showing. Katy still knows Burke students... Somehow. Carson lost the flow under his helmet but still has it on the hill. And Ed is still very good at making chicken salad.

Proctor New Years Eve night race tomorrow. It's on!
