Day 5 | nightmare in a box

Another busy day at Whistler Kids with 25 snowboarders.  I shared a class of nine level two's with Pip Bennett.  She normally works Schools but is filling in at the Village until the School Program opens.  Over a foot of snow fell overnight making conditions at the Magic Carpet very soft but fun to learn on.  We spent the morning teaching the kids how to S-turn.

After lunch we headed to the Olympic Chair where we had the longest chair ride of our lives!  For some reason the lifties had the chair running at 1mph.  I swear I could have walked up the bunny hill faster.  One of the kids was afraid of heights and when he got off the chair he said the experience was a "nightmare in a box" .... He was terrified.  LOL  I have a feeling he was embellishing a bit.  : )

It turns out not everyone was 100% on their zig zags and some of them were a little wild/out of control.  Pip walked the length of the run helping the stragglers to get up to snuff.  Needless to say the kids had a blast.  We only had time for one run on Olympic Chair so we headed back to the CLC for hot chocolate and then we had free ride time on the Magic Carpet for the rest of the afternoon.
