Stand on your feet

While skiing a couple of days ago, I ran into our ski school director and skied a few runs with her. Wendy is one of those graceful women skiers, deceptively fast and smooth. She’s great to ski with.

Your faithful reporter on the scene...

You'll be forgiven for having believed that the snow year's not off to the most spectacular start in history, but there is now photographic evidence to prove otherwise. Black Jack's Biathalon trails are Ginzu-groomed for skating and may be trackset for classic as early as today.
