Our annual camp at Mt. Saint Anne is always a special time, and this year was no exception. MSA delivered with perfect corduroy, bomber tracks, and frigid temps while offering some time for relaxation and a chance to catch up on our first-year men's Youtube presence. We welcomed Evan Carr back from Namibia, rung in 2018, and celebrated Isabel's 19th birthday while putting in some km's on trail 24. A big shoutout to Jeremey's fiancé Kayla for putting up with our shenanigans all week, and to our supportive parents for organizing a delicious dinner. Here are some more highlights from a memorable camp:
Lowest Temp: -17 (though this didn't keep us from doing a 3+hr OD!)

I remember all my years at MSA, and each has brought me closer to the funny, compassionate, hardworking, and humble humans I am lucky to call my teammates. While it was admittedly bittersweet to know it was my last year at MSA with the team, I know I'll be back to this special place in years to come.

| Until next time... |
