Kathy Copeland, Robin Conners, and Dave Owings met with 5 Volunteers and 4 students to take a hike around Valentine Reserve's 150 acres of protected natural habitat and learn about the California Black Bear from host Leslie Dawson.

"Come on out and enjoy the fun," said Dave Owings, Program Manager, "This program is going on so that we don't see our student's awesome smiles only in the winter time!"

According to Dave Owings, volunteer coordinator, the group was quite prepared for emergencies too with their own physician, the AED, oxygen and evacuation plans for an expeditious departure, if necessary.

The weather and conditions were gorgeous, a happy ending to a fantastic weekend. Thirty people with heart disabilities are now aware that with proper technique, pace and terrain, skiing is an option for a happy new beginning. "This was a magical experience that we are looking forward to doing again next year," Owings said.
