No real glissade chutes at this time, we chose our spots carefully walking down through that narrow hour glass section.
Our plan was to have everyone meet at Hoodsport at 8:00 AM. I knew it things would go well when we were all there at 7:30 AM! We had mixed weather, sun, clouds, fog and a touch of snow, but no rain and the temperature was comfortable. Students did a great job on the way up and we did some select glissading on the way down, which showed the students how fast you can go and why it is important to be able to control your speed.
