Hannah A. Manase – Loveland, Colorado … Twenty-three students in the ski and snowboard club at Campion Academy in Loveland, Colorado, went to the Copper Mountain Ski Resort in Frisco, Colorado, for their first trip of the season, January 10-11. With six of them being first-time skiers, they were thrilled to experience the sun and snow on their two-day trip.
New to the ski club this year, freshman student Donna M. commented, “I’ve never been skiing or snowboarding before, and it was a fun learning experience. It was a bit hard at first, but I think I got it in the end.”
They departed and stayed in the Leadville Seventh-Day Adventist Church the night of January 10, and the next two days were spent skiing and snowboarding. Although there was less snow this season, most of the mountain ski runs were open and the group enjoyed nice weather.
Conner J., freshman student, stated, “It was a lot of fun even though the slopes were super icy. But we still went full speed as fast as we could!”
On the afternoon of January 11, the ski club went to relax at the Copper Athletic Club. Gerard V., sophomore student, expressed, “After a long day of skiing, it was nice to be able to relax at the athletic club. It had a basketball court, gym, pool, and hot tub. The hot tub was very refreshing.”
The club will enjoy three more days of skiing this semester in March and April.
