Father’s Day started on a good note at IMG. IMG Senior Guide, Aaron Mainer, called to let us know that the entire team stood on top of Elbrus this morning. Some fresh snow made our skiers happy. Half our team made the ski descent while our other half climbed down. Everyone was able to ‘do their thing’ and had a highly successful day. They were even able to push it and make the last tram down to the valley. Forecast calls for continuing low winds and intermittent snowfall for the next several days. It’s all good. Team will get a long sleep tonight and then enjoy a couple of days hiking, sightseeing and relaxing in the Terskol area. Safe, successful and enjoyable – they did it all! Congratulations to Lara, Stephan, Alyson, Kyle, Amanda and Peter and thanks to Sasha, Igor and Aaron. Well done.
