We Got Stuck As We Started

To enjoy skiing you need to be flexible, hard working and deal with what you are given while putting on a smile.  This photo was our slowed departure from Presque Isle to the Williams Carnival.  It’s around 6:30 a.m. in this shot and we had been stuck two times even before anyone took a photo.  It was the neighbor with a snow blower that  got us out.

The Carni Crush Tradition

The Eastern Collegiate Ski scene is full of traditions.  One of the favorite happens each year after the team relay at the Dartmouth Carnival and it’s called the “Carni Crush.”  Individuals and teams alike create songs, poems, performances and art to be given in the spirit of St. Valentine.
