Skyler at Durango Mountain Resort

The Fort Lewis College mascot, Skyler the Skyhawk, made a visit to Durango Mountain Resort (DMR) on December 27. Skyler joined two FLC admission representatives in wishing DMR skiers and boarders a happy holiday season. No pun intended, but it was a beautiful bluebird day. Clear blue skies and excellent powder/packed powder conditions made it an enjoyable day on the slopes. With temperatures in the low 20s, Skyler and the FLC admissions counselors were on hand to provide some apres-ski relief--hot chocolate and cookies. As you can see in the photo, one of our younger Skyhawk fans was excited to have her picture taken with Skyler. This year, Fort Lewis College enters its second-year partnership with Durango Mountain Resort. Prospective students who visit the Office of Admission during ski season receive a complimentary lift ticket at DMR. I encourage you to visit with us this winter season to learn more about FLC and to take advantage of our great relationship with DMR. Happy holidays and best wishes for 2010.
