Sky High Sports
Annual Crew Ski Trip
Our January ski trip was a blast! We fit in a whole day of skiing and snowboarding, a few walks, a bunch of games, and even a polar bear plunge. Crew members even made a large Italian dinner and a big breakfast for all.
Career Series Kick-Off on 1/24
Rose Parade Campout
On December 31, the crew grabbed the corner of Raymond and Colorado in Pasadena for a Rose Parade campout. We explored around time, played games, and joined in all the fun! The next morning we had front row seats for the parade. It was agreed this should be a repeat event.
