Day 81 - the Weird Family

4cm of snow fell overnight bringing the snow base up to 185cm.  It was cloudy in the morning and quite chilly up high but winds were calm.  It was quite foggy up there until noon.

I was assigned level 4's but ended up taking level 3's.  I had a full class card as over 40 kids were taking snowboard lessons.  My class ended up being three boys from Whistler who were high level skiers and three "destination" kids.  Typically with level three's, they start the day with very bad technique and we spend the day trying to correct that technique.  Today was no different.  We spent the morning on greens -- nothing exciting.  The best part of the day was venturing into Marmot Trees.  With all the recent snowfall, the trees are covered and Marmot was packed down with soft snow.  It was a pleasant surprise.  The kids loved it and it was fun to finally venture off those boring groomers that we've been shredding since the beginning of February.
