Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows is concerned about the safety of our skiers and snowboarders. Please read and practice the following information. Skiing and snowboarding are adventurous and exhilarating outdoor recreational activities. Natural and man-made obstacles are a part of this alpine experience. Collisions with these objects, especially when skiing fast or out of control, can result in serious or fatal injury. Ski and ride with caution and in control.
Know the Code
Skiing and snowboarding can be enjoyed in many ways. At ski areas you may see people using alpine, snowboard, telemark, cross country and other specialized ski equipment, such as that used by disabled or other skiers. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the code listed below and share with other skiers the responsibility for a great skiing experience.
- Always stay in control and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
- People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
- You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.
- Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
- Always use devices to help prevent run away equipment.
- Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
- Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride, and unload safely.
- If you are involved in a collision or are a witness, do not leave the scene until the Ski Patrol has talked to you. California Penal Code § 653i.
- Be safety conscious and KNOW THE CODE. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
This is a partial list.

Powder Safety Tips
Skiing and snowboarding off the groomed runs and in deep powder is one of the most exciting and appealing parts of our sport. However, if you decide to leave the groomed trails (ski/ride the off-piste) you are voluntarily accepting the risk of a deep snow accident.
Off-piste skiing/riding is extremely difficult and for experts only. Unmarked obstacles and hazards exist and should be expected. If you choose to ski/ride the ungroomed area, including glades and trees, please remember and follow these safety precautions:
- Ski and Ride with a Partner
- It is critical to ski or ride with a partner who remains in visual contact at all times. In many cases, some of the deaths which have occurred due to tree well or deep snow immersion incidents may have been avoided had the person been with a partner the partner saw the person fall and the partner was close enough to assist digging the victim out in a timely manner. It does NO GOOD for your safety if you are under the snow and your partner is waiting for you at the bottom of the lift. If you have any question about what a "timely manner" is to assist someone in a tree well or deep snow, hold your breath now as you are reading this and the amount of time until you need air is approximately how much time your partner has to help get you out of danger. Other factors such as creating an air pocket or the nature of how you fall into the well may extend this critical timeframe. VISUAL CONTACT means stopping and watching your partner descend at all times, then proceeding downhill while he or she watches you at all times. IF YOU LOSE VISUAL SIGHT OF YOUR PARTNER, YOU COULD LOSE YOUR FRIEND.
- Carry, and know how to use, backcountry gear and wear a helmet.
- Know how to use, and carry, the same personal rescue gear as backcountry skiers or snowboarders: Transceiver, Shovel, Probe, Whistle
- If you use poles, remove your pole straps.
- Remove your pole straps before heading down a powder slope. Trapped skiers have difficulty removing the pole straps, which can hamper efforts to escape or clear an air space to breathe.
- What if I go down?
- If you are sliding toward a tree well or a deep snow bank, do everything you can to avoid going down: grab branches, hug the tree, or anything to stay above the surface.
- If you go down, resist the urge to struggle violently. The more you struggle, the more snow will fall into the well from the branches and area around the well and compact around you.
- Instead of panicking, try first to make a breathing space around your face. Then move your body carefully in a rocking manner to hollow out the snow and give you space and air.
- Hopefully, your partner will have seen what happened and will come to your rescue within minutes. If not, experts advise staying calm while waiting for assistance. Survival chances are improved if you maintain your air space. Over time, heat generated by your body, combined with your rocking motions, will compact the snow, and you may be able to work your way out.
Deep Snow Safety Tips
Deep Snow Warning Sign Skiing WinterSkiing and snowboarding off the groomed runs and in deep powder is one of the most exciting and appealing parts of our sport. However, if you decide to leave the groomed trails you are voluntarily accepting the risk of a deep snow immersion accident. A deep snow, or tree well immersion accident, occurs when a skier or rider falls into an area of deep unconsolidated snow and becomes immobilized and suffocates. Deaths resulting from these kinds of accidents are referred to as a NARSID or Non-Avalanche Related Snow Immersion Deaths.
NSAA has made available for distribution Tree Well and Deep Snow caution signs for resorts to use in their efforts to educate skiers and snowboarders about the hazards of tree wells during deep snow conditions. Ski areas are able to download the artwork and have signs made to fit the conditions at their resorts, either for on-mountain signage, printed in trail maps, posted on websites, or utilized in other mountain media.
NSAA's Tree Well Safety signs are available for download here.
Become educated on how to reduce the risk of NARSID through your own action and awareness. ALWAYS ski or ride with a partner within viewing distance. The website www.deepsnowsafety.org is an excellent resource designed to assist all skiers and riders in educating themselves about the risks and prevention of deep snow and tree well immersion accidents.
Warning: Risk of Avalanche
While snow safety and avalanche mitigation efforts help reduce the risk of avalanches, avalanches and snow slides may occur at ski areas, both inside and outside of the posted boundaries. Avalanches are an inherent risk of the sport due to the nature of snow and its application on steep, mountainous terrain. Become educated on how to reduce the risk of injury or death from avalanches through your own actions and awareness. Visit avalanche.org or contact the Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows ski patrol for further information on the risks and prevention of avalanche-related injuries or death.
For avalanche safety awareness, watch this video provided by RECCO.
Obey All Posted Signs
- Obey All Posted Signs and Warnings: All poles and/or flags, fencing, signage and padding on equipment or objects or other forms of marking devices are used by the ski area to inform you of the presence or location of a potential obstacle or hazard. These markers are no guarantee of your safety and will not protect you from injury. It is part of your responsibility under your Responsibility Code to avoid all obstacles or hazards, including those that are so marked. Please be aware that snowcats, snowmobiles and snowmaking may be encountered at anytime.
- Terrain Symbols and The Easiest Way Down: A green circle, blue square or black diamond at Squaw Valley is not necessarily the same as similarly rated terrain at other areas. The ratings are a relative system that applies only to this area. Work your way up, beginning with the easiest terrain no matter what your ability level may be, until you are familiar with the terrain at Squaw Valley. Looking for the easiest way down? Follow the yellow trail signs off most lifts.
- Slow Zones: Certain areas are designated as SLOW ZONES. Please observe the posted slow zone areas by maintaining a speed no faster than the general flow of traffic. Fast and aggressive skiing and riding will not be tolerated.
Chairlift Riding Practices
Skiing and snowboarding are sports that people of all ages can enjoy. In order to participate, skiers and riders, including children, commonly ride chairlifts to access the slopes. Sometimes children ride chairlifts with adults, instructors and coaches. In certain circumstances, children may ride lifts without adults, instructors or coaches. Furthermore, while there may be restraining bars on chairlifts, lowering the bars does not guarantee the safety of the passengers.
The following practices have been developed in an attempt to reduce the risks associated with riding lifts at Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows. We recommend and educate our guests on the following practices.
Chairlift Practices
"Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely."
- We recommend the use of the chairlift restraining bar, for guests when they can do so safely. When possible, we attempt to have an adult ride on lifts with children but it may not be practical to do so all the time.
- We train our lift operators to assist children, as appropriate, when loading the chair.
- We train our lift operators and instructors, as necessary to verbally remind children to SIT BACK, HOLD ON, LOOK FORWARD, and DON'T FOOL AROUND. We encourage parents to re-enforce this message with their children.
- Adults riding with children may be reminded to lower the bar.
- Our coaches and instructors lower the bar, if available, when riding with children in the following snowsports programs: Squaw Valley Mighty Mites, Squaw Valley Shooting Stars, Alpine Meadows Mountain Rangers, Alpine Meadows Development Team, Squaw Kids lessons, Alpine Kids lessons, Private lessons with children under 13 years old
- We teach children enrolled in snowsports programs to use the bar if they can do so safely.
- We post the following message for parents: "Please be advised that your child may be riding lifts alone, with other children, or with adults while enrolled in group lessons, private lessons, or Teams. Please advise a Supervisor or Head Coach if you do not wish for your child to ride a chair lift."
Children's Chairlift Code of Conduct
"Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely."
We have developed the Children's Chairlift Code of Conduct to help all of us educate our young skiers and riders about the importance of following chairlift best practices. Please take an active role in educating your child on the following guidelines:
- Behave and be respectful of your teammates and others when you are in line, loading the chair, riding the chair, and unloading the chair.
- When you are loading the chair, move promptly from the WAIT HERE board to the LOAD HERE board.
- At the LOAD HERE board,
Hold your poles in your inside hand
Look back and to the outside
Grab side of chair, back or top of seat as it approaches.
Use the restraining bar if you can do so safely
- While you are riding the chair, DO NOT play with skis or boards and DO NOT play with the restraining bar.
- If the lift stops, DO NOT turn around or play around on the chair.
- After you unload the chair:
Move away from the unloading ramp
Stay out of the way of others.
Wait for coach or instructor
- If you fail to unload:
Sit back and hold on.
Wait for the operator.
- Children participating in a supervised program that violate this Code of Conduct will be appropriately reprimanded up to and including termination from our program.

Function chaining is a construct in C++. It constructs a chain of function calls in one statement. Return value of the previous function call is used to call the next function and hence a chain of function calls is created. Following is an example of it:
obj.fun1() is an expression which evaluates to the return-value of func1(). On this returned-value func2() is called which again evaluates to its return value. Similarly func3().
Function chaining is good as well as bad. It may make the code look compact and nice but excessive use may end up with readability and maintenance issues. The code may be difficult to debug also. One can't see the intermediate return values of the function calls.
Apart for the readability and debugging issues, it can also result into a serious memory issue. Lately, I faced it while converting from a QString to a char* C string. Here is the code:
// function QString::toLocal8Bit() returns QByteArray // QByteArray::data() returns pointer to internal data QString str("manjeet"); const char *c_str = str.toLocal8Bit().data(); // c_str is now a dangling pointer referring to an invalid memory
In the above code c_str points to an invalid memory.
It happens because the function chaining involves unnamed temporary objects. These unnamed temporary objects are returned by the function calls. And these are again used to call the next function call. But in this case the last temporary object is not stored and is deleted after the statement is complete.
This code can be fixed by avoiding the function chaining and storing the intermediate object.
QString str("manjeet"); QByteArray ba = str.toLocal8Bit(); const char *c_str = ba.data();
Here the problem is fixed as the byte array is now being stored the ba variable.

Ex. Ord. No. 11582. Observance of Holidays
By virtue of the authority vested in me as President of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Except as provided in section 7, this order shall apply to all executive departments, independent agencies, and Government corporations, including their field services.
Sec. 2. As used in this order:
(a) Holiday means the first day of January, the third Monday of February, the last Monday of May, the fourth day of July, the first Monday of September, the second Monday of October, the fourth Monday of October, the fourth Thursday of November, the twenty-fifth day of December, or any other calendar day designated as a holiday by Federal statute or Executive order.
(b) Workday means those hours which comprise in sequence the employee's regular daily tour of duty within any 24-hour period, whether falling entirely within one calendar day or not.
Sec. 3. (a) Any employee whose basic workweek does not include Sunday and who would ordinarily be excused from work on a holiday falling within his basic workweek shall be excused from work on the next workday of his basic workweek whenever a holiday falls on Sunday.
(b) Any employee whose basic workweek includes Sunday and who would ordinarily be excused from work on a holiday falling within his basic workweek shall be excused from work on the next workday of his basic workweek whenever a holiday falls on a day that has been administratively scheduled as his regular weekly nonworkday in lieu of Sunday.
Sec. 4. The holiday for a full-time employee for whom the head of a department has established the first 40 hours of duty performed within a period of not more than six days of the administrative workweek as his basic workweek because of the impracticability of prescribing a regular schedule of definite hours of duty for each workday, shall be determined as follows:
(a) If a holiday occurs on Sunday, the head of the department shall designate in advance either Sunday or Monday as the employee's holiday and the employee's basic 40-hour tour of duty shall be deemed to include eight hours on the day designated as the employee's holiday.
(b) If a holiday occurs on Saturday, the head of the department shall designate in advance either the Saturday or the preceding Friday as the employee's holiday and the employee's basic 40-hour tour of duty shall be deemed to include eight hours on the day designated as the employee's holiday.
(c) If a holiday occurs on any other day of the week, that day shall be the employee's holiday, and the employee's basic 40-hour tour of duty shall be deemed to include eight hours on that day.
(d) When a holiday is less than a full day, proportionate credit will be given under paragraph (a), (b), or (c) of this section.
Sec. 5. Any employee whose workday covers portions of two calendar days and who would, except for this section, ordinarily be excused from work scheduled for the hours of any calendar day on which a holiday falls, shall instead be excused from work on his entire workday which commences on any such calendar day.
Sec. 6. In administering the provisions of law relating to pay and leave of absence, the workdays referred to in sections 3, 4, and 5 shall be treated as holidays in lieu of the corresponding calendar holidays.
Sec. 7. The provisions of this order shall apply to officers and employees of the Post Office Department and the United States Postal Service (except that sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 shall not apply to the Postal Field Service) until changed by the Postal Service in accordance with the Postal Reorganization Act.
Sec. 8. Executive Order No. 10358 of June 9, 1952, entitled Observance of Holidays by Government Agencies and amendatory Executive Orders No. 11226 of May 27, 1965, and No. 11272 of February 23, 1966, are revoked.
Sec. 9. This order is effective as of January 1, 1971.Richard Nixon.

|ASU Student with Meningitis Causes Local Action
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 29 November 2012 07:09
The Appalachian District Health Department and Appalachian State University Student Health Service, working with local healthcare providers, report that they have been working together to address one case of bacterial meningitis. An ASU student reportedly became ill while away from campus
on November 25th, raising local concerns. The release from the Health Department says, "All people that are believed to be at-risk because of close contact with the ill person have been identified. Though these people are not sick, they have contacted and have been provided preventive medication." The release went on to say that ASU Student Health Service is working closely with public health officials to coordinate response efforts, but they assessed that there is "a very low risk" that meningitis would be spread to others in the local area given the specific details in this situation. Those in close contact have been given preventive medication as a precautionary measure is effective in preventing meningitis disease. But with the flu making an appearance in the area, health officials wanted to point out some differences in symptoms, including:
· Sudden onset of fever
· Intense headache
· Nausea and frequent vomiting
· Stiff neck
· Sensitivity to light
They say that if you have any of these symptoms to contact your healthcare provider.

MASSENA - A Massena native serving in the U.S. Air Force hasnt let an overseas assignment in the United Kingdom keep him from enjoying his love for hockey.
Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Dwyer has been playing hockey for a Royal Air Force team and recently participated in their annual week-long Tri-Services Tournament. He was the Easter Crusades back up goalie.
Last year when I was stationed here in England I made contacts with a team that was kind of like a pick up/beer league through RAF Lakenheath, another U.S. air base, and started playing with them, Staff Sgt. Dwyer said by email.
After a few practices, after three years not touching the ice, I was asked by a couple of the British members if I wanted to come and start skating with the Crusade team and see how I fit in. At first it was a challenge since I was the new goalie and with goalies being the way we are, the other goalies were unsure of me. It all turned out to be a good match, and I have been accepted as one of them since, he said.
Staff Sgt. Dwyer, who was raised in Massena and graduated from Hillside High School in Upland, Calif., said he started playing organized hockey in his early teens.
This is my church, my comfort zone. Everyone has their place and this is mine, he said. I started playing organized hockey at the age of 12 or 13 when I was discovered playing goalie at Alcoa Field by one of the hockey board members who brought their kids out to play. All I had to start with at Alcoa was my baseball mitt, a players glove for a blocker and a regular hockey stick.
Staff Sgt. Dwyer said he had grown up playing soccer and taking martial arts, which made the goalie position a natural fit for him.
I had natural reflexes and one that I also adapted and learned as I grew into the position. Plus, theres nothing like taking away a goal from someone that knows for sure they can put one by you and all you do is keep on denying them the whole game. But its the most stressful, but yet most rewarding position, I feel, he said.
A bit of advice for future goalies is you must have a personality of a jokester and always keep your head up win or lose because you have five others in front of you. Youre the first line of offense and the last line of defense, he noted.
Staff Sgt. Dwyer joined the U.S. Air Force nearly 10 years ago.
The honest reason was I was down and out on my luck trying to find places to stay in for the night and I asked myself what one thing I could do to provide housing, money and three meals a day. The military did and since my grandfather, John Bucky Dwyer, was in the Air Force and he is my hero, I would follow in his footsteps, he said.
He is currently stationed at Royal Air Force Base Mildenhall, about an hour-and-a-half west from London. And, for the past year, Staff Sgt. Dwyer has been a member of Eastern Crusade, a Royal Air Force ice hockey team that is made up mainly of RAF members from the United Kingdom, along with a select few from the U.S. Air Force and one from the Canadian military stationed in England.
This is my second opportunity since joining back in 2003. I also played for a base team while stationed at Eielson Air Force Base just outside of Fairbanks, Staff Sgt. Dwyer said.
He played there from 2006 until 2009 when he was transferred to Okinawa.
He had the opportunity to play again after arriving in the United Kingdom.
The team is made up of military members from the local U.S. air base and Royal Air Force bases close by to Peterborough, although we Americans do travel about an hour and some change each way to make it to practice. The teams we play can be an hour away or up to four or five hours away, all depending, he said.
Staff Sgt. Dwyer, along with seven others from the U.S. and Canadian forces was recently selected to represent the Eastern Crusade during a Royal Force Tri-Service Ice Hockey Tournament. He said all branches of the services were present, including the Royal Marines, Royal Army, Royal Navy and other RAF teams.
The tournament had two divisions and, due to the size of the Crusade team, they were split into two teams, the Crusade and the Easter Crusade Division, he said.
Staff Sgt. Dwyer was the goalie for the Eastern Crusade. He was joined by four U.S. Air Force and five Royal Air Force members.
The team lost its first game against the Royal Marines, 2-1, but bounced back in the next game against the Royal Army Chieftains B team, winning 13-1.
The following day, they won a 2-1 game against the RAF Brize Bluewings and 4-1 against Royal Army Sappers. And, with Staff Sgt. Dwyers goaltending, the Eastern Crusade team was on top of their division after two days and leading with the fewest goals against.
The team made it to the final four after they defeated RAF Scotland 3-1 in the first round of the playoffs. They faced the Chieftains A team in the first round of the playoffs and lost 4-1. Their second game against the Army All Stars also resulted in a loss, this one 7-5.
But it was still a solid season, according to Staff Sgt. Dwyer. The Eastern Crusade took home first place in Division B with 20 goals for and five goals against and a fourth place finish among 11 teams in the playoffs.
Out of everything, our club as a whole took home the Tri-Services Cup and along with it, a year of defending it, he said.

Eric Johnson perfect for Jessica Simpson
Singer Jessica Simpson feels that her fiance Eric Johnson is the perfect man for her.
The couple has two children - 20-month-old daughter Maxwell, and six-month-old son Ace. They were engaged in November 2010.
According to femalefirst.co.uk, Simpson said in a talk show: "He's put up with me and all my hormones for the two-and-a-half-year that I've been pregnant. He has seen me at my absolute worst but he hasn't gone far away."
"Eric is like a big-hearted big guy. He's the best father. Maxwell is a daddy's girl so she is obsessed with him. She definitely has him wrapped around her finger," she added.
Talking about her marriage, Simpson said: "People ask me every day if I'm getting married. I'm like, 'I'm engaged, of course I'm getting married!'"

I have been wondering about the best way to learn playing a new song on guitar. For example, a lot of people try to pick a small part, practice and perfect it and then repeat the procedure for the rest of the song.
Any suggestions?
Breaking pieces into small sections and practising them until you can play them well is probably the best way of learning a new piece.
However, you'll also need to work on linking these sections together so it doesn't sound too disjointed - you don't want to get too used to stopping at a certain point! To get around this, it's also a good idea to practise the entire piece all the way through slowly after you've got most of the sections right. Eventually you can speed up to get to the normal tempo.
Nobody can answer this for you - everyone has a different learning style, and you are going to have to find out what works best for you.
Some people would prefer to be able to bluff their way through a whole song first - improvising approximate versions of riffs or just strumming chords - before picking out sections to refine.
Other people prefer to perfect bar 1 before moving on to bar 2, and so on.
Personally, I've had teachers who make you repeat a riff for a whole lesson, then never actually go on to perform the whole song. That drives me mad. I'd much prefer to play a whole song badly, than learn one riff and do nothing else with it.

Chicken Suit? What in the heck is this?
I just recently purchased a "chicken suit" and I am wondering what is it? Where is it from? What is it used for?
Seems to me it could be used for some sort of ritual purposes?
I really have no idea as to what this is and really wondering what it might be worth?
This seems to be almost literally a one of a kind item.
If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

My sister and I drove down our driveway to our farm to see the snow/ice near sumner. Early in the morning as always. We then visited my brother who lives down there, and decided to go to Blue Ridge with his Jeep. But it was supper clean and he didnt want it dirty. So he said we will take old Orangecrush. My 1971 Volkswagen beetle. With hardly any tred and no heater, we made our journy to the top of Blue Ridge. We spun the wheels a bit but we made it good. We then played up in the fresh, powdery snow. We took a lot of pictures and a video for years to come. Im 14 and love MY vw.

Made famous by BPL. $145.00 Free shipping in the Continental US.Used, but in excellent condition. Nothing wrong with it. I wear prescription glasses and prefer the bill on the hood of the thru hiker model.I'm ordinarily a size medium, but I wear this jacket in a size large.
Price dropped to $125.00
Edited by hikerfan4sure on 02/11/2009 12:42:10 MST.
Tim, mind posting your height and weight? - just trying to figure out sizing.
I read that, but it states a 44 chest for a large which will fit good, but Tim says he is usually a medium and takes a large...throws me off a bit. I wish they just sized everything to my body - make life so much easier. :)
Steve - I wear a size small, and I bought a medium ID eVent, which fits perfectly. I laid it out on top of my Montbell Peak, size small, and they were identical in width and length. If I remember right, the Peak's sleeves were a little longer. Definitely size up.
Steve,175cm, 80kg - plenty of room in a large whilst wearing a patagonia ls cap 2 and an R1.
5'8" and 165 lbs
hmmm. Don't think it will work. 190cm (6'3") and ~190lb.Good deal though.
Yes - definitely size up. ID is notorious for under-sizing. I recently purchased an XL Pertex Wind Shirt from them and it is barely a large. Same thing with my PLQ Jacket. It works but barely. They will not do custom work.

Naval Academy Sea Trials Builds Plebes' Teamwork
Posted on: May 14, 2013 12:00 EDT by Jessica Clark
The Naval Academy Class of 2016 completed 14 continuous hours of rigorous physical and mental challenges May 14 during the academy's annual Sea Trials training exercise.
Sea Trials is a capstone event for the freshman "plebe" midshipman modeled after the Marine Corps' Crucible and the Navy's Battle Stations recruit programs.
Taking place at different locations throughout the Yard and Naval Support Activity Annapolis, events included a variety of physical challenges that simulate situations naval and Marine officers might encounter in the fleet.
A 2:30 a.m. wakeup is a challenge for anyone, but before the sun was up the plebes found themselves running obstacle courses and simulating urban security clearance operations.
Other stations included shore defense, damage control, land navigation, survival skills, simulated bridge defense and demolition, Marine combat fitness tests, pugil stick jousting, casualty evacuation and a two-mile regimental run.
The overall exercise is designed to test the plebes' teamwork and reinforce their bonds as a company and class, while also providing a leadership challenge for the upperclass midshipmen who lead each station.
"It's a real test of the plebe class. At this point they've been broken down and built back up together as a team, and I think this is the ultimate test of the teamwork they've developed over the course of their plebe year," said Midshipman 2nd Class Shelby-Wayne Williams.
Williams commanded the wet and sandy station, which involves physical exercises on the beach by the Severn River and crawling through a trench covered with barbed wire while carrying supplies.
"The trench is designed to test their mental fortitude," he said. "They've already done a lot so they're tired. Low crawling is difficult at this point in the day. They have to have the mental fortitude to just push through it and motivate each other."
Midshipman 2nd Class Tim Winkler, commander for one of the combat fitness stations, said the evolution provides the plebes the opportunity to build camaraderie within their class while also accomplishing the academy's physical mission.
Building camaraderie is just what Midshipman 4th Class Brissa Medina, of 1st Company, said she hopes to gain from the experience.
"It's really cool to do things together as a class because during the academic year, you're kind of to yourself," said Medina. "With events like this, you get to know people better.
"It's something we looked forward to getting through together," she said. "The reward is being able to get to that finish line and not be a plebe anymore."
The company of plebes who demonstrated the top unit performance through endurance and spirit during the entire course will be recognized with the Iron Company award.

NEWPORT–Brock Paquette medaled with a 71 to lead Essex past BFA and North Country on Friday afternoon at the Newport Country Club.
Essex shot a match-low 302, while BFA was second with a 335.
For North Country, they had three players finish their round.
Evan Clark shot a 90, Isaiah Carbonneau a 110, and Coty Wright came into the clubhouse with a 112.
The boys travel to Shelburne on Tuesday for a CVU hosted match.
Six hours of driving and five hours of golf is what the North Country Union High School Girls golf team had this week.
Competing in South Burlington on Wednesday and Enosburg Falls on Thursday gave the team a wide variety of play. While one course is open and loaded with hazards and thick rough, the other is narrow with a forgiving rough.
Both days found Captain Paige Gagnon and new comer Tanika Demers representing NCU. Tanika's experience on the two courses was like night and day.
Enosburg was her better day, scoring a 61 for the nine hole tournament. She did find herself "in the trees, but I took my club and hit that ball so nicely right between the many trees and landed about 80 yards from the green," Demers said.
Coach Hampton believes a little more experience will show a major improvement in her score. Paige Gagnon's day on Thursday had a challenging start, having according to her "tripped down the stairs at the high school and thinking here is a sign that I shouldn't play golf today. But by the next to last hole of the tournament I had a par, and then boogied the final hole, by then I was feeling good about the game." North Country tied for fifth in the seven team tournament.
Lake Region 14, Hazen 4
HARDWICK–The Rangers had no trouble handling the Hazen Wildcats, as they won decisively in five innings.
Matt Messier had three doubles and drove in three runs to lead the Rangers on Thursday.
Dilon Gile drove in four runs on a single and a double, and Logan Harper had three hits and two RBI's.
Dustin Bathalon earned the win with his four innings of work.
Tuesday will find 5-3 Lake Region in Fairfax for a much anticipated rematch with the Bullets at 4:30.
Milton 17, NCU 7
NEWPORT–North Country had plenty of offense on Thursday, but Milton was a little bit better, as they came away with the win against the Falcons.
Anna Bingham had a homerun, and scored twice, Tori Kinney was 2-4 and Taylor Blake, who took the loss, was 2-2 with a double.
All in all, North Country cranked out 10 hits against Milton.
Now 2-6, the girls host Colchester on Tuesday.
Lake Region 38, Hazen 2
HARDWICK-After having their 3-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday, the Lake Region Rangers softball team got back on track Thursday, defeating host Hazen 38-2 in a game played in a constant drizzle.
With a handful of players battling illness or injuries, the Rangers sent a different looking squad to the diamond, but the results were the same as when these two clubs met on opening day.
An eight-run second inning put LR up 12-1, and pitchers Michelle Thibeault and Hannah Leroux combined on a 2-hitter, striking out 11 in the shortened 5-inning contest.
Jordyn Cowles, drawing the start behind the plate for Lake Region, paced the offense with a 4-for-6 day that included a pair of doubles and 5 RBIs.
Kayla Royer and Katie Menard combined to cross the plate 11 times, while Jade Jarvis collected 3 hits including a triple.
Ten straight batters reached base for LR in a 12-run 5th inning, highlighted by a Megan Menard 2-run home run.
"We were hoping to work on our defense today. But between the slick field conditions and Michelle and Hannah striking out 11 (batters), we didn't really get that chance," said LR coach Matt Tinker. "We had four starters sick or injured, so it was good to see some of these other girls get the playing time and come through."
All 12 Rangers collected at least one hit in the game, while Corrina Cota, Whitney Poginy, and Royer each had three stolen bases.
The Rangers move to 5-3 at the midway point of the season, while Hazen drops to 0-7.
On deck for Lake Region is a rematch with D2 powerhouse Fairfax on Tuesday in Fairfax, before hosting Whitcomb on Thursday.
