Day 120 | Beaver Tails

5cm of fresh snow fell overnight.  We are almost into May and it's still snowing.  At least the sun was shining today making it a great day.

I'm having a great week with my Adventure Camp kids.  The two Destination kids we had earlier in the week have been riding with their family .... but a different level 5 guy showed up today.  The first thing we did was take a run down to the village with James and his level 6's to see what group the new kid would fit into.   I was happy to see that he fit perfectly with James, leaving me with only two kids! 

I opted for the noon lunch leaving us plenty of time to do anything we wanted in the morning.  The first thing we did was warm up on Whiskey Jack.  The run was soft packed with fresh corduroy.  Simply heavenly.  Next we took a run through the Terrain Park.  Upper Peak to Creek was the run of the day so I came up with the brilliant idea of hitting that to Highway 86.  The snow up there was dry and mostly untracked.  Max and I followed the trail off piste getting sweet freshies while Lottie stayed on the groomer.  We made our way down Highway 86 getting fresh tracks on the side of the cat track.  We eventually made our way back to the CLC around 11:30am and refueled with lunch.

Yesterday the kids planned on bringing money to buy a Beaver Tail today.   They decided to buy one after lunch and ate it in the gondola.  We took the Peak 2 Peak over to Blackcomb to hit the race course and terrain garden again.  They closed the race course early but we were able to get one run down it.  The snow at the top of Blackcomb was soft packed and lots of it.  We hit a bunch of treelines and there was so much snow in some spots and lots of fresh lines.  Max worked on his ollies on the flats, off of jumps, and down drops.  Lottie just rode around.  I hit the jibs with Max.  It was a really fun day and we did a lot of snowboarding .... over 20 miles to be exact!  I took lots of pics of the kids.  Last day of AC is tomorrow and my fingers are crossed that we don't have any other kids who have to ride in our group.
