ORANGE U GLAD 2 C ME?

That's our theme for 2012! This was one of Dave's first sentences post head injury. His sense of humour and ability to communicate was in there somewhere, and hOpe, lOve and Optimism was paying off.

We'll be glad 2 C U so we can say "Thanks for the memory!"

Despite the incredibly snowy and blowy conditions - Stewart Laver and his incredible ski school staff managed to set a great dual course. With George Kay and Brad Freer in the start gate, and Lynn Kay in the timing shack at the bottom the event went like clockwork!!!!

TOP FUNDRAISING TEAM $8,700- Tartan Terrors, Vladmir and Marta Pierimarchi, and Gavin and Henry Culver - winning 4 PAIRS OF ATOMIC NOMAD SKIS AND 4 KARBON SKI JACKETS
