It has been a long camp and there is definitely an eagerness to head home among the kids here. We decided to make the most of our time the past couple days by driving over to Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan University to check out the campus' and athletic facilities. We took skier-oriented tours of the schools and got to meet some of the athletes from the team which was nice for the kids; sometimes its easy to forget that there are schools beyond Lake Champlain...
Now we are back in Ironwood packing up so Pete can get a head start on the snow storms that are finally ascending on the UP. So far the flurries have not left us with enough to ski on so its looking like we will wrap up here without actually getting to ski, but the kids are all healthy again and the training has been really good despite the lack of snow. We will be back to campus on Friday night, hopefully returning to some white stuff on the ground!
