Records and Rainbows

The Director has heads turning in Clifton Park.  In back to back weeks HURT has seen a record number of junior and master skiers get together in Clifton Park for the Monday night workout.  Normally known as a soccer town, Clifton Park is poised to change the town name (Ski-ville), town logo, town slogan ("Clifton Park - a Great Place to Live, Work and Rollerski on Monday nights") based on the new dedication shown by the HURT skiers.  HURT juniors are amping up for summer camps and HURT masters are gearing up for the IMT, Prospect Climb and an early winter.  

Even the rain couldn't dampen the HURT spirits or keep the masses away.  Not only did Chris Y, Andy W, DPK, Tim H, Austin H, Aaron H, Becky C, Katie C, Brian H, Sara D, Amy D and Chloe B all make it out to ski in the rain but the HURT hikin' division was launched as Ann C, Gina H, and Mary D strapped on their parkas and headed off down the Zim Smith Trail. (It is unknown just how long the trek lasted or if they were waylaid by a trail side coffee shop or martini bar.) But it is speculated that the three brave hikers went "a distance".  

The Clifton Park show is traveling north next week.  We hope to bring these numbers up to the Warren County bikeway and get some of the HURT northerners in on the action.  Come on! Bring out your skis and get your game on!

Big turnout in CP.
