Texas A&M University students in the intermediate ski class hike
up Mount Aggie between ski runs Thursday afternoon. The ski
surface Is made of AstroTurf and watered down to make it slick
for skIIng. After learning and practicing skIIng
techniques, the students were treated to several
sledding runs down the manmade slope.
