My class today was the three level five riders ranging in age from nine to twelve. The first thing we needed to do was take a lap down to the valley with the level three/four class to see what level the kids would fit into best. Instead of splitting up the two levels, we just ended up team teaching and keeping the two classes together. Aimee and I shared six kids and shredded the heavy wet snow all day!
The kids were nothing but chatter boxes all the way up the gondola so Aimee and I thought a few runs through the fresh powder would tire them out ... IE: shut them up! Unfortunately, the fresh powder was more like fresh cement!! 15cm of snow fell last night, followed immediately by 20mm of rain! Warm temps have the snow melting so fast that streams and rivers are running right through some runs.
After lunch we headed over to Blackcomb and took a couple laps down Honeycomb, Cruizer, and the terrain park. By 2pm, the cloud cover set in so we took the Peak to Peak over to Whistler for our final lap down to the village. From the Roundhouse to Chic Pea, the snow was hard packed and wet. From Chic Pea down to the valley, the snow was slushy and comparable to spring like conditions. The one good thing about today was that it didn't rain!
