Skiing in Thunder Bay Entry 1

January 20th.

At 7:00 AM, two yellow school buses pulled into the parking lot of the Bayfield Mall.  The athleates left their checked baggage on the tarmac and boarded the buses.



Coaches and parents helped load all the baggage onto the cube van and than we are ready for Take-Off.

Once the cube van was loaded, it was time for Take-Off. 

At 8:45, we are flying high above Lester B Pearson International Airport aboard Sinton Airlines

A successful landing at the Airport.  The Cube Van pulls up and everyone helps with the unloading.  Each person had to check their own baggage and skis onto the plane.

After Checking our baggage and skis,  It was time to head upstairs to clear security and wait unitl it was time to board the plane. 


Our plane just pulled into Gate 138 at Terminal 1.  The luggage and skis are loaded onto the plane.

Once the food is loaded, it was time to board the plane for the first time.

The Welcoming Party greets us after getting off the plane and than we boarded a city bus for the Hotel Transfer.  This is like Disney's Magical Express.  Everyone on the plane got to skip the baggage claim and hop onto a bus that wisked us to the hotel.
