Featured Expedition: 2003 American Ski Everest Expedition
Dispatch Two

Dispatch Two: The team has arrived in Katmandu and are working with Asian Tours to get all the permits, visas, and gear in order.  Everyone is healthy and ready to hit the road. We will take our time on the road stopping at various towns to acclimate and do some training hikes.  Our schedule will be dependent on when we can get out of Katmandu, and then on the acclimation of the team. For now, it is just getting over the jet lag, and hardening our skin for sophomoric hammering that everyone faces from a group of guys that knows every weakness, soft spot, and source of ribbing of everyone else. As with all other trips, the laughing has not been hard to find.  Not much else to report. Will keep you in the loop. Cheers, Mike Marolt
