The players were able to serve to their opponents while steppingoverlice and snowwhiletheïr fans cheered on the sde. "1 Target shooting was the next evrent in which participants threw snowbails to a target. This event always looks easier than it really is. There were not as many spectators gt this event for fear of fiying snowbails that were not headedfor the targett The juniors from Hare House and the seniors from Carter had the best shot n hsvent. On Trafalgar's own hili was the downhiil ski run. A student wearing, skis and boots stood at the top while another pushed her down as far as she, could.
