It was an early start for the Roos' youngsters and a chilly introduction to Utah's ski region.  With the moon still out the group, lead by Brad Scott and Darren Crocker, headed on a three hour hike.

Deep snow made the going tough in some areas and a lack of oxygen at altitude presented an unfamilair enviroment to walk in.

With the main group of players back at the hotel preparing for an equally hard day of skills and running, the new recruits were able to bond further as a group and tackle the mountain sides as one.

Taylor Garner, Ben Jacobs, Micthell Wilkins, Mason Wood, Daniel Currie and Taylor Hine were also joined by North's traveling executives,coaches and some staff.

Setting off at 7am and with the moon still out, the players were hit by the chilly conditions and found it hard to catch their breath.
