Slush Pit time at Mt. Evergreen

«I’m feeling a little better, now that I’m out of it,» he added, as he wrapped himself in a towel.
Jameson Fregeau took a run at it with his friend, and they almost made it across, after shedding their ski poles.
«It was good. It was fun. Got a little yet, but that’s okay. That’s what we thought we were going to do, when we came out here,» he said afterwards.
