🏔️ Ski & Snowboard Fun at Bear Creek! 🏂🎿
On Friday, January 31, thirty members of the DBAHS Ski & Snowboard Club had an amazing day hitting the slopes at Bear Creek! ❄️⛷️
Not only did we enjoy some fantastic runs, but WXTU was broadcasting live from the mountain, and several of our students got the chance to be interviewed on the morning radio show! 🎤🎶
As if the day couldn’t get any better, Buckman’s Ski & Snowboard Shop held a raffle, and TWO of our own students walked away with prizes! 🎉 Kaitlyn Hilberg won a brand new pair of skis, and Sean Welch scored an awesome snowboard! 🏆🏂
Huge congratulations to Kaitlyn and Sean, and thanks to everyone who joined us for such a fun day on the slopes! ❄️👏
