Before the previous semester ended and while we were preparing for our time away from the school, our team made a decision to have an outing together. Going out as a team can be pretty fun, but just the logistics of getting all 12 of us to the same location limits how often we make plans for off campus fun. We went sledding.
Even though our city has a climate similar to Grand Junction, CO, moisture is considerably lacking, and finding a patch of snow to slide down can be difficult. We didn’t worry too much though. About 30km away from us and towards the mountains, there is a postage stamp sized area of artificial snow. We have our very own ski slope. Now this ski slope is limited to a rope tow, toboggan run, hill for sledding, and something very similar to a small bunny hill. It was an afternoon full of awesome. We were the only ones at the ‘resort’ for about an hour and a half and had the whole place to ourselves. No lines!
The video is about 14 seconds of the toboggan run. You could really get some good speed! The employees put down some mats in the run to slow it down so that people wouldn’t get thrown out of the chute on turns.
The weather is getting considerably warmer. Spring will be here any day now.
That's pretty sweet...sometimes I forget how fun sledding is.
