in-service day.
“This was the best attended
and most successful of the six
tribal member ski days we have

the event.
Young tribal members and
some of their adult chaperones

members received hats, gloves
helm ets and goggles, w hich
Meadows has collected for this
purpose over the course of the
ski season.
“Keeping the kids dressed
warmly has been a major goal
of our effort,” said Quaid. “If
the young tribal members are
warm and comfortable in the
mountain environment, they are
much more likely to enjoy the
experience.”
During lunch, Dave Riley,
