A quick look back as they get closer to the peak, Coach is still there....These lifts seemed to be much higher off the ground then at Crystal Mt.

Stephanie (FHS) and Monica (BLHS) prepare for the departure of the lift as the peak gets closer. The excitement was really starting to build the closer they got to the top of the mountain.

Pictured in the middle is Monica as she waits for the rest of the team members

The team members and Coach Miller get some well deserved relaxation after a hard days training.

Coach Miller rides the lift behind the team members. The view is spectacular from there!

Christopher said his ears popped while riding to the top. He attributed it to the high elevations. Here again, Chris captures beautiful scenery while on the lift.

View of the very top and surrounding mountains.

It may not be the "top" of the world, but the kids sure felt like it was! Pictured left to right is Stephanie (FHS), Wiley (FHS), Chip , one of the Keystone Race instructors, Monica (BLHS), Travis(OHS), Christopher (OHS) . The kids were impressed with the length of the runs. With the high elevation and length of the runs on the GS course, the kids found themselves tired and out of breath by the time they got to the bottom.
