Day 64 - all kinds of weather

Picked up the same three kids from yesterday and added a girl from England. We started the morning with a ride through Ego Bowl. There was only a few centimeters of snow overnight and the winds were ripping when we exited the gondola. After that we had time for a run in the Marmot trees then down to the CLC for box slides and jumps before lunch.

As the fog rolled over mid-station, we took Garbanzo Chair to Raven (an easy black run). On Raven, all the kids were doing perfect sliding turns which means they moved up to Level 4's. They were all excited. We decided to brave the windy chair lift again for a couple more jaunts through the Marmot Trees (kids love the Marmot trees).

The weather was super crazy today. At one point, it was clear but cloudy. About 20minutes later, it was snowing like you wouldn't believe. Then 45minutes later, the sun was shining. Below Olympic Station, it was also raining at one point in the morning and afternoon. Not fun.

Here is Kaitlyn. She is a snowboard instructor who had to teach skiing today (because too many ski instructors called in sick). Kaitlyn is a great skier and loves to teach skiing, the only reason she doesn't look happy is because her feet are killing her in those rental boots.

Hey - who is napping in the snow?

Not me but another instructor Jen. She's actually laying down in a huge hole we dug.

Oh, I see the hole now.
