Hello team! - Well the season is winding down and the snow is winding up! What a crazy weekend and I woke up this am in Government Camp to another 4 inches of snow! Well at least we are assured of plenty of snow for our Spring Break Camp!

Some upcoming dates and details.....

First of all - A HUGE, HUGE thanks to the coaches and athletes and parents who helped us take down 40 rolls of B-Net from Mt. Hood Lane on Sunday afternoon. What started as - each group take down two nets (one in the am and one in the pm) turned into clearing all the B-Net off the hill! Honestly it was the kids who led the charge - they made it a game and their energy and excitement was contagious - so the adults just kept working! Melissa Fong just wouldn't stop pulling out the nets (her workout for the day), Alan S and Tony C just kept digging, Arne started pulling out nets and also wouldn't quit till the whole thing was done. Coach Stephen kept the training going and rounded up the kids to also pull the gates and brushes. We blame the whole project on coach Ben W. who just pulled out a net or two "for fun" and then the whole project just "snowballed." At the end of the day I heard Ben say, "Not in my wildest dreams were we ever going to get all these B-Nets off the hill today, what an amazing crew!" Nonetheless, getting those nets off the hill was a huge job and it would have only been made worse by the upcoming additional snow, warm weather and freezing temps. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
