Race Weekend 2011!!

What a weekend!  3 feet of new powder, snow, blowing snow, wind, avalanches, back-ups, closed roads, stranded guides, parking lot horrors, chains, towed cars and that was just Saturday!  Come Sunday & we have 3 feet of new powder, sunshine, clear roads, no wind, clear sailing to Monarch, everyone’s on time and ready to ski.  What could go wrong on such a picture-perfect day???  A snow cat runs into an electrical transformer and knocks out the power at Monarch.  No electricity means no tickets, no lifts, no coffee, no food, no drinks, and ultimately NO RACE!  What a bummer!!  All dressed up and no where to go.  I felt especially bad for those of you who were excited to ski for the first or second time this year.  I also felt bad for the Ski Shop, who closed up shop & all the employees headed to Monarch to race for VIBeS!   I will say I heard very little grumbling and almost every team came by to drop off their donations.  The final figures are not in yet, but I think we did fairly well.  Thanks SO much to everyone who made the weekend – I won’t say a success – but I will say – an experience we won’t soon forget!  A very big round of applause & sincere thanks to Marcia for coordinating everything!   And to everyone who volunteered and helped out – and there were many of you – you folks are the ones who help make our organization what it is today!  So hats off to ALL of you!!!!!!!!!   I will say the Saturday night dinner & entertainment were OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!   We have many talented folks & we had several musical wonders!  Thanks for participating and making our night!  And then a grandiose finale with the Pelvis Bresleys – All Hooked Up!!!!!  What fun we had!  And to those of you who missed it………………..there’s always next year!  You guys are GREAT!
