Club enjoys beautiful day at Mt. Kato

The ski trip was a great success! The club took three carloads of 15 people up and had a blast!

The weather was gorgeous, it was 30 degrees and sunny. The group left around 7 in the morning and after a 3 hour drive and a stop for McDonalds breakfast we arrived at Mt. Kato. The group had a lot of fun together, racing each other, and the guys even attempted some jumps. Nobody was hurt, and Ray Kline showed the most improvement of the day, going from the bunny hill at the beginning of the day, to ending with a black diamond! All in all it was a great day and everyone had a lot of fun and can't wait for next year's trip! Click here for a extended recap. (Recap from Recruitment & Retainment Co-Chair Lisa Tronchetti)
