Day 4 - Keystone
January 29th, 2008 | Published in Monster Ski
Mike Laver said that today was his best day’s skiing ever! The sun was out and everyone was in really good spirits, working hard to achieve as many vertical feet as they could. The clear sky meant really low temperatures of -23˚C, but the conditions were great.
John Nicoll and team were pushing themselves harder than ever today. His motto of the day: “Turning is for tourists, lunch is for lightweights!” The group didn’t stop for lunch, choosing to spend their $15 lunch vouchers on chocolate bars, which they ate in the gondola between runs!
Today was the best day overall in terms of vertical feet achieved - the group skied an average of 39,247 per person, with John and David achieving the almost impossible by skiing 73,660 vertical feet each! Alex, Rich, Brad and Ian all managed to smash their 150,000 targets today.
Tony and Laura (MS Trust Fundraising Officer) spent the afternoon snowshoeing to try and clock up some feet to add to Tony’s total: 9,843 horizontal feet achieved!
