How do you unwind after the build season is over?

[Jon Stratis]

I'm sitting here in lovely Lake Tahoe, having just killed myself on the slopes at Heavenly. I take a trip with some friends from college every year, and it always seems to come right after the build season is over, and before our first competition.

Some details of my first real day (remember, us mentors still have to go to work after the robot ships!) of post-build relaxation:
18 miles downhill, 11 miles on lifts
29.7 mph max speed
12.7k ft ski vertical
10021 ft max altitude
7485 min altitude
