Day 22 | tis the season!

It's the Saturday before Christmas and we had 30 kids signed up for Snowboard School. woo hoo.  Well, it's Christmas after all, thirty kids is nothing.   More interesting: out of the thirty, 19 of them were level ones and 9 of them were level twos (that's a lot of kids in the Magic Carpet area).   The remaining riders were two level fives.  Ski School was equally as busy with over 120 skiers.  It's the time of year that gets chaotic trying to sort 150 kids.  Personally I love this time of year!  Sometimes being in complete chaos just makes your work days so much more interesting.

I was stoked and happy to finally take a high level class.  I put in my time with those ones and twos for the past month.  We received some snow over the past few days but the freezing level rose significantly (to the Chic Pea) leaving icy conditions on anything lower than 1200 meters.  The first run down to the valley from mid-station was like concrete!  It was corduroy but it was hard and it sucked (um, what did I just say?).  The snow was amazing at the Roundhouse but it didn't take long to hit the 1200 meter mark and then it was crap.

After lunch, my two boys wanted to hit the Blackcomb Terrain park.  We hopped on the Peak to Peak, my first time this season, and we ran through the park about three times:  hitting the spines and easy ride-on boxes.  The afternoon went by fairly quick and before we knew it was time to head back down to the village and check out.  It was a good day.
