Skiway gears up to host Special Olympics

By Kristen Kelley | January 21, 2005

Despite forecasts of unbearably cold weather and last-minute changes to courses and event schedules, a record number of volunteers and over 140 participating teams are eagerly anticipating the third annual Winter Special Olympics set to take place Saturday at the Dartmouth Skiway. The recent cold front caused freezing complications and forced the winter games management team to make last-minute changes to the games' structure, games director Pete Bleyler said.

From the western hunter to the mountain skier to the avid climber, the Dartmouth Outing Club provides ample opportunities to explore the wilderness, to hike the Appalachian Trail and to kayak rapids on the Connecticut River.

Founded 95 years ago to "stimulate interest in out-of-door winter sports," the Outing Club boasts both more members than any other student organization on campus and a longer history than any other college outing club in the nation.
