This years Annual Resident Ski Day at Waterville Valley was an undeniable
blast. Some of us started the morning with a lesson while others skiied with a
mountain guide. Perhaps more of the residents should have taken the lesson and
asked specifically for racing tips as we unfortunately lost again this year to the
attendings in the afternoons NASTAR race. However, there is hope on the horizon
as we have a couple of ringers in the junior and intern classes (who will remain
unnamed so as to avoid being put on call for future ski days). Alas, the attendings
arent getting any younger, and their kids are starting to insist on skiing for the
residents. All we have to do now is figure out how to bribe a certain former US
Womens Ski Team member to come over to our side.
Dr. Brick graciously hosted everyone on Saturday night at his condo for an X-ray conference,
a delicious dinner, and plenty of drinks. Sunday brought a little pow-pow for those
of us who know how to stay up late and get up early.
Thank you so much on behalf of the residents and fellows to the attendings who
donated their time and resources to making the weekend another success. We were provided
with 3 awesome condos, great meals, lift passes, lessons and guides. Among the contributers
were Drs. Brick, Ready and Vrahas as well as Drs. Appleton and Abraham. Also, a big thanks
to Dr. Rubash for his support.
