wn the slopes r anniversary of Michigan ' s Skiing club in its existing form. The founders began this club in order for U of M students to have fun oifSnTrornneslopesaway from the dudgery of Ann Arbor. The club enjoyed a fun filled four years of hitting the slopes in Michigan, Colorado, Wyoming, and Canada. The year began with our Winter Break trip to Breckenridge, CO. Many members began their vacation in sunny California to witness the greatest college football game in history, the 1998 Rose Bowl. The football fans then flew to Colorado to meet up with the rest of the ski club. With 80 ski clubbers the club tore up the slopes at Breckenridge and the back bowls of Vail. The next trip included 230 skiiers at Blue Mt, Ontario. This trip was the club ' s biggest trip ever. Many of the members enjoyed their time in Canada over the weekend. They brought back memories of times at The Stores and on the slopes. As was an unfortunate tradition for the Spring Break trip, the 1998 trip also included a bit of disaster, luckily only involving a broken window. Fortu- nately the blue and purple vans were able to get back on the road on their way to Crested Butte, CO. The week at Crested Butte gave everyone the chance to hit the moguls, back bowls, and of course all of the double black diamonds. As everyone knew, Wolverines Ski Black! The club ' s craziest trip of the year was up at Boyne Mt. Carnival Weekend is the time to get out and celebrate everything and anything. The slopes were filled with fun for the entire group. The Slush Cup was a sight to see with all of the brave skiiers either making it across the icy water or bombing it. Throughout the fouryears all of those involved with Michigan Skiing came away from their adventures with at least one memory- It was fun! As True Blue Wolverines all ski clubbers prevailed through all of Mother Nature ' s snow and made it back safely to Ann Arbor. by Liz Davis MICHIGAN SKIING CLUB OCIETY OF HISPANIC ENGINEERS i M:irki)li From fc Herrelko III.
