| This is Mary on the left. She was comparing fancy GS suits with Robin Plank, but suddenly they found something else to do. Looks like a bottle of ULLR has caught their attention. After many very successful years Mary retired as coach of the Stillwater Alpine Ski Team. We’ve heard strong rumors that every other coach in the league was very happy to see her go. She was very hard to beat. There were many nice articles in the local papers about her retirement and many accomplishments. | Happy
to report that Alyson's automatic keg detector is still working full
speed. But, after last year's debacle with kegs freezing before
we could drink them, this year we concentrated more on cooking brats
and enjoying good food. Alyson and Andrea are the fastest ladies
on the team normally with handicaps in the teens. | It's
impossible to get a picture of the Bonde's alone. It’s either
Andrea and mom, or Andrea and dad. Father and daughter were in a
gentle competition to see who would be the fastest down the Hill.
Most of the time, they are only a fraction of a second apart.
Halfway through the season Bruce reinjured his back and thought it
might be time to retire. But now we’re hearing hints he might be
back again next year. We all hope his disk re-heals and he can be
back with us. But, we’ll all respect his knowledge and wisdom as
an M.D. if he wishes to retire. | ||

| This
is such a neat picture of Lezley, I'm using it for both teams.
She's been spending a lot of time both this year and last year working
with Cindy McDonald, and her times really show it. Not only is
she the instigator of bringing back the ULLR cheer, but she really
loves her ULLR schnapps and always needs a second or third to complete
the day. | Elliot
moved here from Michigan. He was looking for a team to race on
and saw the ULLR website. He was so impressed he asked to join
our team. A very modest fellow, he was worried if he would be
good enough. But after the first race he found he was a very
solid silver racer and a super part of our team. When he realized
there was a team in the morning league that had two of our afternoon
team members - Andrea and Bruce – on it, he asked to join them racing
on The Weiss Squad. | Can
only find enough time to ski one day of the week, so he and wife Marsha
enjoy skiing together in the morning, then he joins us for our race,
and after the race he and Marsha are off skiing together again. | ||
517 Scott Shields |
518 Ryan Long |
519 Robin Plank |

| Scott
joins us from the Ski Hawks club, and we’re very thankful for
that. He’s a consistent gold-medal winner. Scott’s a very
competitive racer and strong supporter of the rest of the team.
He takes being a ULLR racer very seriously, and has created a mascot
for our table. I have a base he can put it on as soon as I can
find it, and some of the ladies will be doing some artwork to make it
really super. See our new mascot in the photo gallery section. | This is Ryan and his wife Amy. Their son is racing on the Sunday morning Wild Mountain developmental team. Ryan returned to racing last year. In two years, his times have improved so much that he is now the fastest member of our team. | This
is Robin and her daughter Kaelyn. Robin is a full-time instructor
at Wild, and Kaelyn attends the Perpich School for performing arts
where she is studying creative writing. Kaelyn comes home for the
weekends and races with mom on the Bald Eagle Flyers Sunday morning
team. We hoped she would join us for the afternoon race, but she
got pirated away by the Wild Bunch. Right now it's a dead heat
between mom and daughter to see who's taller and faster. | ||
