Stories:

-Sam: Skiing at Sunday River. Skied the backside at 1pm without much snow. Bushwacked out for 3 hours and fell in a stream.

-Matt: Jackson Hole for Feb break. Hit up the expert chutes. Takes it pretty easy, then doesn’t take advice from a French guy, which led to a big fall into some trees. And then some more trees. And then a cliff. After he stopped, he claimed it.

-Hazel: Broken hand last weekend. Shredded some blue squares that were really crowded. The only choice was to crash into Caitlin. Caitlin was okay.

-Josh: Ski the East came to show their film series a while back. Last weekend was the STE Freeride Tour at Jay Peak. Ben Leoni thought that Josh’s identical twin, Matt was him.

That’s all
