Good, and the Ugly

Annual Powderking ski trip
started out bad, ended good,
with some ugly in between.
On the whole, the trip was
great. Starting with the first
mishap, the bus was late ar-
riving in front of the Agora.
So all of the people who were
there on time could have slept
in instead of waking up at
5:15. The second mishap
happened at the mountain.
We arrived at nine o’clock,
which, for some, is still too
early, to find out that the chair
lift was not working. All we
could do was sit and wait; so
we really could have slept in,
every one of us. When finally

nally started to move; so by
the time we loaded on to the
chair and got to the top, it
was one o’clock. Luckily,
the management decided to
keep the mountain open for
a little longer than usual.
Upon arriving at the top of
the T-bar, some found
untracked pristine powder.
On the way down, you could
see some people stop, take it
all in, then—after proper
praise to the powder Gods—
rip it up, turning the nice
fluffy powder at the top to
gross cement-like crap at the
bottom. Now they know
why this “resort” was aptly
named Powderking. (Some

Thanks Gord!

For all those who
went, I hope that you had as
much fun as I did and that
you will come along next
year; it should be better. And
for all those who thought that
you should have gone, all
those who did go gota FREE
lift ticket to be used by the
end of the year.

some of us got tired of sitting
around and decided to climb
up the mountain, some of us
didn’t make it far.

of the “success” this year, the

year.) Also, thanks to one of
