Hi my name is chase from Pope John Paul II high school in Boca Raton Florida and I was really interested in how you prepared your body for the transition from the warm climate in arizona to the cold harsh climate of Antartica. Thank you for taking your time to read my note.

Hi Chase,The transition is not as bad as you might think. Since Flagstaff sits at 7000ft and I am a fan of snow sports it seems pretty natural. Presently Flagstaff is getting a large storm with a forecast for about five feet of snow on the SanFrancisco peaks (12,636 ft).Thanks for the question.Justin
