Following the Foliage

 Hi everyone!

A couple of weeks ago, some members of the SLUSKI team partook in a hike in the Adirondacks. With permission from the school to leave St. Lawrence County and us abiding by the Laurentian Pact, we loaded up into cars and headed down to climb The Brothers and Big Slide. This was planned into the week's over distance workout, but what better way to spend it than to go leaf peeping! It was fairly cool (around 60 degrees) and overcast, but fortunately the trail was dry. The first couple of photos are from the tops of The Brothers, which I thought had the nicest 360 degree views, and then Big Slide.

This was a great way to finish off unofficial practice and get to see a true NYS peak foliage. Stay tuned to hear from Charlie ('23) as he shares about the start of our official practice and testing week!

Best,
