Day 75 | 12 kidz, 2 instructors, lots of sun

Busy day in general at Whistler Blackcomb.  This is the first weekend the day parking lots have re-opened since the Olympics and it seemed like everyone from Vancouver had to come up and enjoy the sun.  The parking lots have been closed for the entire month of February.  Lift lines were huge, the sun was shining, and temperatures were mild.  No new snow overnight and I have no idea how the conditions up top were since I spent my day at mid-station or below.

We had 12 kids in level two so Fiona and I "team taught".  We spent the morning on the Magic Carpet, figured out everyone could at least zig zag confidently, then ventured out to do a valley run.  Twelve snowboarders is a big group of kids to take on the runs.  But it went smoothly and it only took a half hour to reach the village.

After lunch we wanted to try and get the kids turning.... so back to the Magic Carpet.  Three kids, out of the twelve, successfully turned.  Next up was another freeride down to the village.  By the afternoon, snow conditions turned to super slushy.  The kids are a harder time in these conditions but they still had fun.  Back to the CLC for jump time with the skiers!
