Day 2 - Vail
January 27th, 2008 | Published in Monster Ski
Another great day with the weather, despite storms being predicted. The sun was out and the snow was good. Things were beginning to get slightly competitive after yesterday’s achievements and everyone was working hard to get in as many vertical feet as possible.
Mid morning we had a casualty - Tony had a fall from his board and injured his shoulder. He was rushed down the mountain on a sled and taken to the medical centre where he was put back together again.
He’s now strapped up and is in pretty good spirits, despite not being able to get back on the slopes. The rest of the team have decided to make up his vertical feet by skiing extra themselves over the next few days.
With regards to today’s vertical feet, incredibly the team have done better than yesterday! Every group beat the 25,000 target, with John Nicoll and team just edging past yesterday’s record result with 49,000 vertical feet in the bank!
An interesting fact about our Monster Skiers - ages range from 20s to 70s, with each of the six decades represented by at least one person.
Tomorrow: Copper Mountain
