Christmas, Christmas time is here! Whistler Blackcomb is hosting well over 20,000 visitors these days. It's a time when you'd rather be working because you can cut in line with your class. : )
My Adventure Camp kids met me in the Village and by 9am we were headed up the gondola for our first run of the day. We did a nice, easy green groomer as a warm up and rode down to the CLC to pick up some Destination kids.
Levels 3,4,5, & 6 all shredded down to the Village in order to work out some splits. When it was all said and done, my class picked up one other kid named Jack. When we reached the Village, the Ski School queue was almost to the ticket kiosk so we went up Fitzsimmons Chair and then jumped on Garbanzo Chair. We were then able to head down a black diamond run, Raven and then down Ptarmigan, which was the Run of the Day.
We had early lunch (11am) so we didn't do much riding in the morning. A kid who was a level four was lapping the Magic Carpet all morning, never got put into a class. NOT GOOD! In fact, there were three kids on the Carpet without an Instructor from 9:30am to 11:00am. I was given the level four kid, another boy named Jack, the other kids were level twos.
My fingers were crossed that Jack could keep up with our class. After lunch we went up Garbanzo again and rode Raven to Emerald. Jack was fine ... he was definitely a level four rider and he could easily keep up with the class.
We took the Peak to Peak over to Blackcomb and went through the Terrain Garden twice before heading down to the Village. We were too early to call it a day so we had to head back up the Whistler Gondola to the CLC. I took a bit of a break while the kids hit the jump for a few. We then finished the day with a final run to the Village where the kids were checked out and I was able to sit in traffic as I drove back home. Christmas, Christmas time is here!
