The original "plan" was for us to spend March in Utah. Well, we've fallen in love with Colorado and have decided to stay on here till early April. A part of that decision had to do with Gary and I missing being a part of a ski school (the camaraderie and not being "a tourist") and it turned out that Beaver Creek has a huge Spring break series of weeks and they needed to add a few new instructors to cover the rush. SO...starting at 9:00 on Sat. March 5th we attended a 6 day training crammed into three days with awesome clinicians. Long days (our commute from Breckenridge is about an hour each way). Yesterday I had a mini "clinic freak out"...it sort of had that PSIA Exam feeling. But today we started teaching via auditing and it all came together in a great way. We still have another day of auditing which will give us more confidence in all the different "procedures" and terrain for teaching which level. Then orientation on Thursday. We should be teaching on our own by Friday. Here we are in our new Vail/Beaver Creek Ski School uniforms!
Just a short note on this ski school....they are SO welcoming to new hires it's been incredible!!!
Again a note to the Alpental crowd: After my clinic meltdown yesterday we were waiting for the bus to the parking lot and this booming voice calls out 'ALPENTAL!" I've just gotta say that a great big huge hug from AL OSBORNE was JUST what I needed!!
Yep....life is very good!!!
Isn't the motor home a non commute vehicle? As in, have one, live at work place?
