10 MNC skiers, 1 large mountain, and a mass start race to the top! The Pug Squad drove over to Lake Placid on Saturday a got in a nice easy ski, a study hall session, and a home-cooked meal. We stayed at the High Peaks Cyclery “Base Camp” complete with bunk beds and rustic styling.
On Sunday morning everyone fought hard to the summit through wind, fog, and deep competition!
Saturday ski on beautiful River Road. You can see Whiteface looming in the clouds in the back
A focused study hall. NYSEF coach Marge walked in to say hello and was flustered: “why are they all so quiet??”
Hearty pre-race meal. Thanks to the folks who donated food items and food budget contributions!
Race action featuring Magda on the final big turn!
Phil reaching the top, cheered by Tim and Ali. As you can see, the views were nonexistent

It’s safe to say Timmy knows how to push himself!
