Day 40 | late for work

I stayed at Irish's house last night (after the trip to Baker) which meant I had to make a morning commute up to Whistler this AM.  I gave myself plenty of time for the drive, taking into account the snowy/icy road conditions.  When I reached the turn just south of Function Junction, a two car accident had already happened.  Traffic was still moving in both directions before the authorities came.  I was about 7 cars in line when the police and fire trucks showed up, closing the road in both directions.  There I sat for an hour, making me late for work.

Lauren was kind enough to bib and flaik my team.  I met up with them at the CLC around 9:30am.  They were ready to snowboard when I showed up so we hit the gondola and headed up to the Roundhouse.  The snow was amazing today.  20cm of fresh powder fell overnight and the conditions were soft packed with powder on the side of the runs.  The Alpine never opened causing the lift lines to overflow out the fences.  I didn't mind since I was teaching.

I have to admit I didn't do much for "teaching" today.  I was too excited to ride the great conditions.  The kids followed me around as I just rode and rode.  They didn't mind as they were riding fresh powder also. Before I knew it, the quitting time alarm went off and it was time to head to the village to sign out.  I'm hoping tomorrow is just as nice.
