So what do elk and skiing have in common? We're not sure either, but that didn't stop us from visiting an elk farm near the Sunday
River Ski Resort in Newry, Maine, where nine of us went on March 26-27 for a weekend of downhill skiing. Through mutual
arrangement, Clark's former Ski and Snowboard club passed the downhill skiing baton to the Outing Club, so we'll be doing much more
of it in the coming years.
And maybe we'll visit more elk too, one of whom has befriended Sarah (below).

On Sunday we skied the trails of Spruce Peak. At left, Bridget and Helen head
for the summit on the Spruce Triple lift, and at right, Noah, Bridget, Nate, Erin and Kate are checking out the view from
the top of Spruce Peak.

Overnight, we stayed at Nate's house in Maine to save on lodging. We held the offical Outing Club ping-pong tournament
in Nate's basement, played "Oh, Hell" (a card game), and were treated to wonderful lasagna, salad and earthquake cake,
compliments of Nate's mom! Here we are in Nate's driveway at the end of our weekend, packed up and ready to head home.
