| GIANTS RIDGE JANUARY 25-27 31 ULLRs and one Red Eye guest (Mary R), were anxious to get on the bus and hit the road for GR. We had our subways and chatted and before you know it, we arrived at the lodge. We all settled into our rooms, except for condo 1, who discovered their room had not been cleaned. So these lucky women got a 3 br suite for one night! Saturday started out extremely cold so some chose to lounge around until the sun warmed the slopes. Once we got out we really enjoyed the day and most were prepared for the elements. Several enjoyed the hot tub and others relaxed to drinks and a band in the chalet. We enjoyed an après ski before dinner and talked about our fun day on the slopes. Barb K corralled every one for the group picture and then we enjoyed dinner with chicken, salad and pasta. After dinner we cleared off the tables and the teacher in Barb K. was evident because she had each table marked for the different games and she had a prize bag for winners to draw from. The game night was a huge success with most people participating. We played bridge, farkel, spite and malice, Mexican train and cribbage. Sunday was a beautiful day, the weather was perfect and the snow was soft and fast. At 1 pm we had the longest human slalom; 22 skiers and we did it twice with one fallout (Jim M). Quite good for our age! We loaded up the bus and started back homeward and the weather turned slippery from Willow River to the Honeywell parking lot. It was a great weekend and most thought they would love to go again next winter. Thank you for making it such a fun trip. Patty Fitzgerald and Barb Kolbe |
