Powder Day at Loveland

The FIS boys and girls were greeted with over a foot of snow this morning so we took advantage of it and had some great powder skiing!

Big time skiing

Hello from Whistler Blackcomb! The U16s had an awesome first day of skiing, including off piste skiing, terrain parks, cornice jumping, and groomers. There is tons of snow and we are having a great time. The views are unbelievable and off-snow activities are endless. Here are a few photos:

Columbus: Hero or Villain?

Dave's 9th Grade History class had a debate on Columbus. Ask your athlete which side won if they haven't already told you! Ice cream was on the line...

Bike swap continued

Busy right at the opening bell this morning!

Burke Bike Swap!

The sophomore class, led by Viv, and supported by Village Sports, is putting on a community service bike swap to benefit Kingdom Kids! Drop offs are to be made between 5-7 tonight, Friday, and the sale is on Saturday morning!

More Basic Training

Below are more scenes from this week's outdoor strength training, with the military "Basic Training" theme. As Darrell said, "It won't be hard, but you will learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable." In the end, I think they had a pretty fun time.
