Day 98 - hotter... hotter.... hotter

The best "snow couch" ever!

Another amazing spring day on Whistler Blackcomb.  Temps in the alpine reached close to 50°F.  I didn't get a chance to ride up there but I assume the conditions were just as slushy as below midstation.  I'm getting rid of the goggle tan and replacing it with raccoon eyes.  

Another large class (eight kids) with one being my AC kid.  He's turning down the Supercarpet but nervous on anything else.  A few of the other kids moved up a level.  Most stayed the same.  I got a tip at the end of the day, which will come in handy as I believe my AC kid moved over the Blackcomb to be with his friend.  That will leave me snaking a Destination class for the rest of the week.  I haven't had very good luck with Adventure Camp kids this year.  

Day 94 - April Fools

April fools!  It's not April fools..... but don't tell Mother Nature cause she thinks snow in the village on April 2nd is a joke.  Not for us, we love it.  We got 5 inches of snow in the last two days.  The powder conditions up top are amazing and so much fun.

My morning was great.  I took the level four class and we hit Marmot Trees down the Peak to Peak line, back up and through the terrain park for a couple laps.  I had two fast kids and two slow kids and by noon, the slow kids were spent!  So I put the fast kids in the level 5 class, one of the slow kids got whiplash and was taken home with patrol, and that left me with one slow tired kid.  We spent the afternoon with 7 level threes, team teaching with Ian.... which is always interesting.  

By the end of the day, temps in the village read 45°F on my truck thermometer.  Here's a pic of Cabo enjoying the sun!  Spring is here.
