Even after the so-called "Monster" storm came through Wednesday, we still had 30 or so Silver Streaks who enjoyed mingling at the Village Rec. room. We also listened to an informational talk by Melinda Johnston, the Physical Therapist in Campton. Many of the Silver Streaks in the room already knew Melinda professionally - she's helped a lot of us out with strains and issues. Melind talked about stretches and exercises we could do to keep us in the best skiing shape. It was very generous of her to take the time and travel out to Waterville in the bad weather. On Thursday evening we headed out from the Nordic Center for a "sparkling" snowshoe tour. The light from our headlamps made the surface of the snow shine in the crisp, clear night air. We stopped and Al Larsson described the various constellations while pointing with his green laser light - with no moon, the sky was full of stars. Gigi told us about the slaves who made their way to Canada following the North star. We finished a great evening at Diamond's Edge with some hot chili and cold drinks.
