Maidenforum www.skiyente.com Page 2 SUMMER FUN NATIONALS A HIT!

This race lives up to it's name...fun! Alice Jacklet and I raced in the Giant Slalom on Saturday, in the wonderful Mt. Hood sunshine. To be able to ski in the summertime is so unique and FUN!

There were a handful of PACRAT racers and racers from all over the place, including Alaska, Connecticut and Canada as they were already at Timberline for a summer camp or two.

FUN times literally from SUN UP to SUN DOWN! This year, the race was held in memory of Jim Estes, Schnee Vogeli member and long time Summer Fun National participant.

Friday was a beautiful evening graced with a fire, roasting marshmallows and a gorgeous sunset. Saturday s highlights started with a big POWER OUTAGE in Walla Walla that affected the first winery that was toured. Jeannie Hummel drove 3 hours round trip to spend a few hours with the group, or was it to taste the wine? We re not sure but we are thinking the former! After touring three wineries, a few people played golf at a 3 hole golf course (wonder how that went?) then headed over to the Walla Walla Onion fest. Great fun for all! Thanks Sandi for the use of your most beautiful home!!
