Team Event at Falcon Ridge
On Sunday, January 6 th , Team Toba had their first team event at Falcon Ridge for some Skiing/Snowboarding. Thanks to Athlete Rep Dylan's excellent organizational skills, nine team members made the trip and had a blast. With a beautiful view of Falcon Lake , but only a couple of lifts and runs, Falcon Ridge turned out to be better than expected. The Team returned home sore and bruised but definitely prepared to go back next year.
