On Tuesday, the Batavia Boys Alpine Ski team found a mixed bag of weather and conditions at Swain Resort. 

The warmer temperatures over the weekend led to a sugary snow, easily pushed away by each skier leading to a hard service with large banks of soft light snow. The morning sun turned to afternoon clouds and light snow of giant picturesque snowflakes.

The boys came in sixth place out of 11 teams in the competition.

Freezing overnight conditions left the race course in great condition for the girls on Wednesday. 

The soft snow from the day before was much more solid and the girl skiers did not have to worry about snow piles of any kind. The day was perfect for ski racing, with bluebird skies minimal cloud coverage, and the bright spring sun.

The girls, competing with an incomplete team, came in eighth place out of 11 teams.

We held this show last year and it was a huge success and everyone had a GREAT time! As we did last year, we will be asking several teachers/faculty members to participate--who doesn't want to see their teacher getting hypnotized? The rest of the participants will be volunteers from the audience....you might get to be a part of the show!! You won't want to miss this!!

Friday, November 7th--7:00 PM

Tickets are just $10 pre-sale and $12 at the door.

Tickets are available from any member of the ski team or can be purchased at the Main Office at Batavia High School or the Attendance Office at Batavia Middle School.


From JackHirsh.com: At an early age Jack was fascinated by magic but as he got older he realized that what magicians do are tricks and illusions, there was no real magic. Then one day he saw a hypnotist perform a stage show and he was hooked. This was the real magic he was looking for, the magic of the mind.

Jack’s entire show is built around the belief that reality can be bent, warped and molded to the point that what you thought was real is in fact only your perception of reality. There are no tricks or illusions. Real people are brought up onto the stage and placed into a hypnotic trance and then the fun begins.
