 | | Snow conditions were better during last year's National Toboggan Championships, Feb. 5, 2005. |
 | | Temperatures in the mid-40s melted the ice on a portion of the 400-foot chute and there were puddles on the frozen pond below, meaning competitors ended their runs with a blast of water, much like a log flume ride at an amusement park. |
 | | Mark Tardif, part of Unity College's four-member Team Green Machine, said the ride down was a blur of trees until the toboggan hit the bottom. |
