We're wrapping up some studying now and the snow is still falling. With the Bates carnival only days away and the arrival of real winter in Cambridge, it feels pretty good to be a skier.

Snow in Cambridge
The burden of a 10-day exam period was eased today by more than half a foot of beautiful new snow. This morning we got to ski the full "Tour de Weston" free from grass and rocks, the snowflakes persistently pelting us in the face the entire time. A few snowsuit-clad toddlers and their dads were doing an OD sledding marathon while we attempted an OD ski. They were definitely out there longer, and though the kids were briefly impressed by Dave and Trevor's tele turns, they yelled at us when we took too long in their sledding lane. We learned that Dave cheats at sharks and minnows, that asking the guy in the Pisten Bully to groom us a jump run does not work, and that Coach Cushman has absolutely no qualms about taking face-first diggers in the powder.

You guys haven't even witnessed some of my most spectacular falls. Ask Coach City about the time I ended up trapped upside down in some tree branches at Jackson.
