Planning and

fund raising began nearly two years ago and the theme of the trip was,

"Awesome God." The group started each day with a devotional.

Skiing conditions

were perfect, Green said, with a fresh 10 inches of new powder falling

the night before their arrival. Many took ski lessons the next day but

all were on their own by the following day some choosing to snowboard

and some choosing to ski.

"By the

last day," Green said, "they were hard to keep up with."

Green said

as much fun as the skiing was, there was much more to the trip.

"Standing

on a mountain top is a religious experience unto itself," she said.

"It was a trip filled with many new experiences new sights, new skills,

and a new perspective of the vast beauty of God's creation."
