6:00 AM - Mr. D Chase sets off the fire alarms throughout the lodg by burning the bacon

6:15 AM - Bridgdon's Finest pay us a visit to make sure it's just the rookie chefs and nothing more serious.

8:45 AM - The boys hit the mountain. Very cold morning but everyone is eager to get one the slopes. For the 1st year boys, Mr. Kelley gives them a warm-up class before the mountain's instructors show up.

12:00 - A filling lunch of chicken sandwiches and soup help warm everyone up after the morning skiing. The boys eat heartily and then everyone heads back to the slopes.  Billy goes dressed as a banana and Tyler W goes as a Gorilla.

3:30 PM - The cold has gotten to most of the boys and they make their way back to the lodge (thanks Mr. Bruynell)

5:00 PM - Dinner is almost ready. Mr. Phillips has some pasta, sauce, meatballs and garlic bread. Some kids are talking about some night skiing, but right now they are looking forward to dinner and watching a Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
