More Challenging Weather...

At 5:00 AM it was overcast in Welches and as we headed up we encountered mist and fog well before arriving Govy; leading us to believe that we would be above it today.

Unfortunately as we drove up the Timberline road we never broke through the cloud layer and the visibility in the parking lot was just as bad if not worse than the previous 2 days.

The Mile was scheduled to run while the Palmer was on stand-by. Uros and coaches from other camps headed up the Mile to provide a hill report. Very-low visibility gave way to slightly improved visibility and lift tickets were handed out.

Tiickets were handed out and people were heading up and Uros radioed down to say that it just got worse and to hold the group. It was almost 9:00 AM when Dave, Tyler & myself threw the towel in and headed back down to Welches and awaited the return of our test skis.

Since the campers did not start to ski until 10:00 AM they ended up setting gates and staying up until 1:45. The campers did a great job returning their skis and we headed up to Govy to return skis and say our 'Good-Bye's to our test center buddies for the very last time.
