Car doors flew open and Harris Junior Academy third-eigth graders tumbled into the chilliy mountain air and snowy landscape. After an early morning departure from HJA in Pendleton, Oregon, students arrived at Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort in North Powder, Oregon to participate in an annual educational ski program.
Excitement and nerves ran high as students bundled up, secured their ski gear and gathered for their lessons. For the next seven hours, they experienced the thrill and the challenge of a day on the mountain.
