Comments: Rode with Greg, Glen, CJ, Darren, Christina, Vicki, Pete, and Terra. Heather and Caroline were also there giving the clues to the "medallion hunt". It was the BFGSC Treasure Hunt and everyone had a blast. Greg and I were the "medallions" we were incognito and on skis. Yes I said skis. It was so fun skiing around and getting close to everyone and they had no idea it was Greg and I. CJ gets the award for closest to us. Greg and CJ were less than 10 feet apart. It was funny and Greg and I were worried that we were gonna get caught. We were two chairs behind Glen and CJ on the triple chair. We were also very close to DBD and Christina on the the triple chair exit. While at the top of where Harley's meets the triple chair runs, Vicki did a buzz by Greg and I not once but twice, it was great! It took all four clues for us to be made. Once the 4th clue was given, the chase was on. Greg and I came down the triple chair and most people were waiting at the bottom of run without boards on. It was then a scene from "28 Days Later" as they all looked like zombies and started sprinting after me. I got caught but Greg got away for one more run. Darren got first place and CJ/Christina tied for second on a controversy. Christina tagged Greg first but he forgot to tell her to then tag Heather so CJ then tagged Greg and Heather. So we added another $25 bar tab. So first place received a $50 bar tab at Madd Jax and both CJ & Christina received $25 bar tabs. Not to mention the cool watches and chickens. We partied hard the rest of the day and I had to leave my car at Welch for the night. A couple of bummers during the day. #1- Bonnie told us that she won't be at Welch next year. #2- I hit two milestones while on skis and I am a little embarrassed about that. I went over 400 runs and 300,000 feet for the season. Here are the clues and bonus clues. Everyone received the regular clues but in order to get the bonus clue you had to do a shot.

Staying close to the east will ease your mind
