Mountain Bike to Granite Mountain Summit

On Friday night I rode up South-side Road to the top of Granite.  I had the idea that Sarah's chute might still be skiable.  It wasn't, about 8 days too late.  It was not a completely far out idea, I did ski up there one year on June 27.  I thought I would share a few photos of Red Mountain in summer for those skiers who are only here in the winter months.

Year One at Seven Summits Learning Centre

 Yesterday the first ever graduation ceremony for the Seven Summits Learning Center took place.  This marks the one year anniversary of this initiative in Rossland.  We have gone from saying "it's happening" to "it's happened" (and continues).

I feel a solid sense of accomplishment for the Board of the Seven Summits.  At this time last year this concept was just an idea.  Well year one has been a tremendous success, the Center is established and there is a waiting list for students to enroll next year and the Red Mountain Academy continues.  Congratulations to everyone involved.
