Report:
Three Ramblers headed up to Norquay to get our seniors season's ski pass and to ski for a half  a day. At $96 including tax, it's a great deal. The weather was quite pleasant, no wind and a mixture of sun and cloud. It was the first day of downhill skiing this season for the three of us, but the legs soon got into the usual rhythm. The gang spent most of the day skiing groomed intermediate runs off the Mystic chair. We even took a ride up the Norquay chair and skied down the steep moguled North American run. After one run on the North American our legs told us that we should head back to the Mystic chair - old age is an evil thing!!
