“I wanted to say how much Maddie will be missed by her "skiing friends." As Patt VanDyke said (approximately), "By God, if that old broad can do it, so can I," and so she started something that was fun and warm in the middle of the winter cold, and changed the lives of several of us by teaching us to love being outdoors in the winter, rather than just surviving the season indoors impatiently waiting for spring. Thanks to her, I can't wait for the snow!”
