After an easy flight and a tricky packing job for the ride from Denver, the Burkie Bears and the rest of the U18 Eastern team made it out to Copper! Everyone is settled in and we had a great day of free skiing the mountain today. 

Happy Valentine's Day
Yeah the powder was sweet but so were the roses!  Multi-talented French teacher Amy Ali worked with a few willing students to craft paper roses.

Who is setting??

"Setting by committee," as they say... it is usually when a coach sets and every other coach around thinks their opinion should be heard...
... this time some U16 girls wanted to set. There was a lot of laughing, and also some bickering, but all in all I think the group set went pretty well. Each girl played a part - one to lug gates, one to measure, one to drill the hole, one to put the gate in, and one to advise.

Development GS races at Sunapee

At the GS races at Sunapee today all of the Burke girls put up a great performance and we ended the day with two of them on the podium. 

Dani won by a commanding two seconds, and Alli was third for U18s! 

A win at Sunapee

What a great day racing, Dani took the win and we had a total of 5 in the top 20. Nice job girls.

Hands-on Calculus

Today's hands-on activity in calculus was using the shell method to build a volume of revolution.

We broke the volume into a series of concentric shells.  Each shell is a rectangle with a length of 2pi*x, a height of f(x) and a width of dx.  Once we cut out all of the rectangles, we rolled them into concentric cylinders to get the volume of revolution.
