Ski Week – Thursday

After a long and busy day on Wednesday, it would follow that everyone would be tired on Thursday; however, since it was the last day at Manning Park, everyone made the most of the day by spending hours up at the hill. We were treated to another sunny day that led to icy conditions early in the morning, but the snow softened as the day went on.

The highlight at lunch was a show put on by the grade 12s as they tested the limits of the definition of "spring skiing." The evening began with the Inter-House tug-o-war competition and closing awards ceremony, where individual and House awards were given out for all the downhill and cross-country races as well as for the Inter-House snow sculpture event. After the ceremonies, we snuggled up by the bonfire and listened to music knowing and lamenting that tomorrow we would be leaving this magical place.
