The start of the season was blighted by a cold/flu that was going around all the instructors 😷😷 It made me (Pete) doubt if I did still really enjoy teaching…….. but then suddenly I felt more human again, energy levels rose and I was back to loving it 😍
We have had a right good mixed bag of levels for lessons, which helps us keep our delivery fresh. Most students so far have been from Singapore, Hong Kong or Australia and have all been super polite and keen to learn.
Take Rachel below, her family hired two instructors so Brian and I split them how they wanted each day. Sometimes we had just 1 kid each, sometimes both kids with both of us and sometimes 1 with the kids and the other with Mommy. So chilled but a lot of snowballs “died” that week 🤪 Rachel’s favourite game was to ski down, collect a big snowball (she named all of them ) ski to the chairlift, and then part way up the chair try and throw the snowball into the stream below 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ethan above (not Yoshi hat) could shred all day but ask him to walk 100m up to the chairlift and you’d get a “Are you kidding me? I’ll die if I have to climb up there!” 🤣🤣🤣 – so melodramatic!
Our days off have either been riding (if there’s been new powder ) or chilling at home with a trip to the gym for some stretching, sauna and onsen (hot soak) to recover the limbs a bit.
Long may this continue ….
