Grant Brown, Jay Yang and Mod Rujiviphat seem remarkably awake for a 6:30 am start at the Med. Sci. Bldg.

Tom Cawthorn, Brad Poulsen, Emma Coe, Dave Davidson and Patrick Kim Chiaw look eager to spend a day away from the lab
|
Usually we hear snores
on the bus but everyone seemed surprisingly alert - must be keen to put
an end to those Febuary blahs |
Driver Maggie Mansen did a great job getting us to Blue Mountain and taking our group photo (see below)
|
Ski Day organizer, Sian Patterson, pampers us all with snacks & videos - and didn't lose a single one of us - thanks Sian!!
|
Barely underway and skiers make a bee-line for snacks and Dan Chapman's eye-opening coffee - thanks for the wake-up Dan!
|
Arriving at Blue Mountain - this was the most sun we saw all day! |
Turning the tables
on the photographer - David
|
Veteran of just
about every ski day we've had, David
|
Reluctant to pull on those uncomfortable boots but the slopes beckon....
|
Sian and Lori Rutkevich make a dash for the hills - or maybe a last minute trip to the washroom!
|
Brad Poulsen, Dave Tulumello and Dave Davidson get a quick start...
|
.....but
are soon enjoying a few breaks! |
Lori shows her photographic prowess by snapping a pic without falling out of the lift or dropping the camera.
|
Ahhhh....contemplating the next run with a great view and soft snow underneath. |
Rubbery legs get a break at lunchtime.
|
Veteran boarder from frigid northern BC, Dan Chapman shows how to stave off the cold (or hold up a bank).

Oh yes, this part was very good too!

|
Forgetting T cells and protein-DNA interactions for a while, immunologists and biochemists share a terrific day together
