Day 69 - Family Day

Family Day is a new stat holiday occurring in British Columbia.  Whistler Blackcomb offered 50% off lift tickets today and since it was a long weekend for Canadians, it's needless to say the mountains were fairly busy.

I didn't get a chance to experience how busy it was as I was assigned Lil Rippers and spent the day at the CLC.  Snowboard lessons were busy with 40 Riders and 9 little ones.  Four of us were on Rippers as there were four classes.  One guy was from Brazil and spoke no English at all.  Amazingly enough, he was able to figure things out by watching our hand gestures and by watching the other kids.  Five of them were never-evers and they were all pretty strong.  They could all side slip on their heel edges by the end of the day.
