Day 89 - Nugget's down! Nugget's down!

20cm of fresh snow fell overnight!  woohoo!  I woke up to find about a foot of snow on my car.  I was assigned level threes again since most of them said they were returning.  It turns out, only one returned but two other newbs showed up.  Scotty had level fours again, both were with him yesterday.  We headed to the Roundhouse immediately and spent the morning wearing out the kids in the powder.  We managed to get two laps in before we needed to head in for lunch.  I think this was my first work powder day this season.  I hit knee high fresh tracks through the Family Zone almost the entire way to Emerald Chair.  Once we hit Emerald, the snow was wet and much heavier.

It didn't take us long to realize that on a day with so much fresh powder, our five kids could have gone together in one group with one Instructor.  But both of us wanted work so we team taught for the day.  Technically we did have a split as most of the kids were level fours with one definitely being a level three.  But with the tough conditions, we got away with keeping them together.

By late afternoon the freezing level had reached Chic Pea and it was raining.  The snow was almost slushy.  We made it to the CLC around 2pm and did the usual jump for the rest of the arvo.  Snow base is currently at 270cm with snow forecasted for the rest of the week, though the freezing levels are high. Also, Peak and Harmony Chair never opened.
