Most students are back from their weeklong breaks.
Although this white stuff is starting to melt already, students are hoping for more so they can put their skis, snowboards, snowshoes, and broomball sticks to use. The snowmaking machines at Mont Ripley were running the week before break, but it looks like their progress was set back by the warmer weather. There are only four more weeks until the end of fall semester and winter break. This year, classes don't pick up again until January 15, giving students three whole weeks to spend at home. When they come back, students will already be preparing for Winter Carnival.
