Day 7 | smells like fish

Sun was shining today!!  I'm not going to mention the amazing powder we saw people cutting on Tokum first thing in the morning.  I also won't mention the knee deep powder found around Crystal Chair (it opened today).  Instead I will talk about the 12 kids signed up for Lil Rippers who were joined by another 19 other snowboarders.  Yup, it's a holiday weekend!

I was assigned Lil Rippers again with Morgan and Gillian.  The day went by amazingly fast and it seemed to be much easier than yesterday.  Maybe because we had three instructors.  Most the kids picked up the edging and balance including a 4 year old who could straight line.  He was really cute.

After our afternoon break, we built a jump for the little guys/girls.  They were so surprised and so happy.  It was cute.  Some of the parents took pics and video from the fence line.  They made such a big deal of the fact that the kids were going over a six inch high jump.  LOL - No matter what happens during the day, all kids go home super stoked after the instructors build them a jump.  That seems to be the only thing they talk about when mom and dad pick them up.
