Pastor Craig

 

On February 9th, an enjoyable day was had by the 63 people who attended the Ski/Tubing trip to Winterplace.

A caravan was formed at the church and departed at 5:45am for the trip to Flat Top, WV.  There were 12 vehicles that made the trip with the church bus leading the way. A quick breakfast stop was made in Charleston and we arrived at the Ski Barn rental shop at 9:00. The weather was great with a nice partly cloudy day and temperatures in the low 40’s.

The tubing crowd of 33 played in the snow until l:00 with many rides down hill and over the humps. The ride back to the top was made easier on the magic carpets even though the lines were a little long.

27 skiers enjoyed good skiing conditions with all the slopes open. There were a few beginners who learned how to ski for the first time and at least one who learned that he could still handle the steep slopes….!!!!!

Everyone took a break after 1:00 with a wonderful picnic lunch in the main lodge. Marilyn Holler & Keith Massie did a great job of preparing the tables and keeping everything set up throughout the afternoon as people took a break to eat. There were some tasty pepperoni rolls, sandwiches and lots of cookies, drinks and chips.

The bus and others who had finished tubing left after lunch and arrived back at Vanderhoof safely. The skiers left the slopes at 4:00 and also made a safe turn to the church by 8:30pm.

It was a long day, but there were no injuries and a fun time was had by all. We will plan another trip for next year and hope to have a bigger crowd and a lot more fun.    By Joe Rader

THANKS to all the people who provided food for the Skiing Event held at Winterplace. It was much appreciated.
