Memories Made

Yesterday while cross country skiing with team Soaring Eagle Flying Over Water While Catching Fish In Fight, I wiped out going down a huge hill. When we got back to the lodge I realized that my camera had fallen out of my pocket. I was so dissappointed that I had lost all the pictures from Yellowstone that I took. That night at dinner Bill, our group leader, gave me my camera saying he had found it on the trail. I was so greatful that he had found it! Losing my camera made me realize I wasn't sad about the camera being lost, but afraid of losing the memories. This week has made me realize that a lost camera won't make the memories go away because this week has been amazing.

Well...

So today was the last day...and it was awesome! We skied to the top of a rather large hill and ate lunch. We then went on to go down the side of what seemed like a mountain. Some flew down the hills while many others faceplanted. Those who faceplanted in turn took out who ever was behind them creating a great mess of poeple. It was rather funny. Anywho, we are now in the lodge creating prayer flags, and i'm about to miss my chance to creat one. I'll just tell the rest of my story latter.

yaaaaahhoooooo!!!!!!

Teton Science School has been a great experience. Over this whole week I have learned about the natural world. This last day at school was an intense hike. For most of the day we hiked up on cross country skis. Although it was snowing the whole day and the view at the top was disturbed, it still was a great day.. The achievment best part of the experience was the way down. Skiing down on those mini skis proved to be a struggle, but very rewarding once we made it down. Shredding the nar is one experience I will never forget.

Reflection to an Awesome Week

I can't beleive that it has been a week already. It seems like I just arrived. However, I would have to say that today, Friday, has been the best day! The strenuous hike up to Coyote Cave was totally worth the awesome ski ride down. Even though it was freezing and snowy, the cross country ski ride down was a "once in a lifetime opportunity" and I will always look back on this experience.
     Coming in to TSS I didn't quite know what to expect, but after experiencing so many new and interesting things, I am astonished with all of the knowledge i've learned and the friends i've made! It truly was a magical experience!

The Final day

Sadly our week in the snow has come to an end. As a celebration of the week we cross country skiied up a gradual incline, over a few hill, and found ourselves on top of Coyote Rock. On the way down that gradual incline made for a much faster decline. Wipeouts were unavoidable. Falling into powder and getting stuck waist deep made for an eventful way down. Finding our inner spirits, creating a group totem pole, we're concluding our night. I'm very happy I had the oppertunity to participate in all of this and owe my parents a huge thank you.

Dude

Dude its been great this past week. I have made some huge changes with myself and my outlook on life while here. I know I'm pretty lazy and leave my blogging until the last night but that's okay. The friends I have made here make me want to stay for another week, but I eventually need to go home and finish school. But I know for a fact I'm coming back because that was the greatest five days of my life. Mom don't print this off and insert a cheesy picture and post it above our fire. Thanks everyone for an amzing week.
