It's Dumping!!

To any loyal followers of my blog, I am sorry for the lack of blogs lately.

A blogger from Breckenridge, one from Steamboat, and another from Glenwood Springs, along with myself attended the X-Games in Aspen, Colorado a few Saturdays ago. We had a scavenger hunt planned but, unfortunately, it did not work out as planned. 50 cent performed for about 1/2 an hour right aroudn lunch time. After 50 Cent's performance I was able to watch the Snowboard Cross competition. As defined by Wikipedia, "Snowboarder X (also Boardercross, Boarder-X or BX, SBX, or Snowboard cross) is the official X-Games title given to the sport traditionally and still more commonly known as Boardercross - a snowboard competition in which a group of snowboarders (usually four) start simultaneously atop an inclined course, then race to reach the finish line first. Boardercross courses are typically quite narrow and includes cambered turns, gap jumps, berms, drops, and steep and flat sections designed to challenge the riders' ability to stay in control."

Free Bowling Night took place this past Tuesday. Students were able to play 2 games. Approximately 20 students attended the event.

Topics discussed in the past couple of weeks during Student Government include changing the student activity fee, funding for the rail jam put on by the Colorado Mountain College Events Management class, and a Vance's Cabin hut trip.
