At approximately 5:55 p.m. on Thursday, November 10 Coach Colin notified us that there was potential for some of that white stuff to be on the ground by the morning, and that it was "time to revive the 'first on snow' competition". The criteria was that there had to be a picture taken of them skiing on the 'snow' and that it had to be legit flakes of snow-not just a thick frost covering the ground. And though I am not sure as to how many competitors showed to the start line for this one, there was a definite winner. Tim Hughes was able to both ski on acceptable 'snow' and snap a shot of himself doing so. Although the prize was not publicly awarded, or even seen for that matter, it was said to be an eloquent snowflake crafted from corrugated material and wrapped in silver lining. Though I do have a hunch it was a cardboard snowflake wrapped in tin foil, just a guess though.
Going with the 'first on snow' theme was the potential to head up to Highlands for some better quality powder. Unfortunately though, the weather was a tad warm and so rollerskiing was once again the way to go for the weekend.
