I was skiing down Garden Path today when I met Erin. Erin was working her way down the steep section of Garden Path. I stopped and gave her a few pointers on how to ski across the hill to reduce the pitch. Erin’s husband and friends were just down the trail a little ways. We all met up and then skied Garden Path and Sam’s Run together. I told them about Morse Highlands and they decided to go check it out. It was wonderful to meet all of you, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation. Safe travels on your way back to Ottawa.
