The men's and women's Clarkson ski team made it to Nationals this year which were held at Winter Park. The men make it pretty much every year but this is the first time the women have made it since 1993...go Tech! Dave and I went up on Friday to watch the women's slalom. It was a tough course but overall they did pretty good, especially considering 3 of the 5 were freshman. We stayed up there Friday night with Willi and his assistant coach, Krista. They stayed at Devil's Thumb Ranch which lived up to it's reputation. The owner is a Clarkson grad (I'm trying to figure out a way on how I can get hooked up!). Anywho, we then watched the men's slalom on Saturday. I tell you what, those boys are good! We only stayed for the first run as it started snowing pretty hard. They ended up in 6th place for the day.
Sadly, these were the only pictures I took. There's a story behind the look on my face. Dave and I were walking into the lodge and there were four kids all lined up getting their picture taken. The youngest girl was pouting and as we walked by we heard the (I'm assuming) mom taking the picture say "everyone who's not a baby, smile!". Dave and I lost it.
