Day 13 | -18°C or 0°F

Another bitter cold day with blue skies, winds, sun, and no new snow.  We had seven kids signed up for snowboard school with three instructors working.  I think it was the first time in history that we were all fighting for the low level classes.  None of us wanted to brave the cold temps in the Alpine, which is where the better riders would have to ride.  If you were to teach a lower level class, you could stay around the CLC area and not freeze your butt off.

I took the four kids in the level one class (again) which included one kid I had on Saturday.  They were all pretty cool and fun to hang with.  In the afternoon, I taught them how to use the handle tow, which is normally only used by the skiers.  Before that, they were walking up the Magic Carpet because it is still broken.  On the handle tow side, they didn't have to hike and they had much more terrain to work on.  By the end of the day, they all moved up to level two and they're working on turning.  Two of them are returning tomorrow and since the forecast still remains in the single digits at least through Friday, I think I'll have another day at the CLC...... trying to stay as warm as possible.
