Team One arrives at Ski Hill

 

Hey everyone it’s Justin and Sam with Team one. We are up here at Ski Hill and it was a little murky this morning some snow, some clouds, little bit of winds. We picked up camp and walked up to Ski Hill and then we set up camp again. So yeah we’re tucked in bed here just kinda getting ready for another relaxing night after an afternoon of napping and we’ll be up and attem’ again in the morning. Keeping our fingers crossed for decent weather to keep headed up the hill. We saw some birds today that was maybe the highlight of the day but otherwise yeah pretty routine. We’ll talk to you again this time tomorrow night. Take it easy. Alright
