First Lesson for This Season (Day 9)

I was planning on taking all the required clinics and taking the test so I can teach skiing, but no trainer came to work today. I was assigned to teach a four-year-old boy snowboarding. He gave me a great workout for three hours. I was surprised that he could last that long. Apparently, his parents had been watching us from afar. His father gave me a generous tip afterward. Last season, I did not get any tip at all; therefore, today was a great start.

I thought I was off the hook in the afternoon, but I was assigned to teach three teenagers who had never snowboard before. One girl skied when she was young. A boy and a girl can do RipStik. As a result, they picked up snowboard really fast. I also had two new instructors shadowing me. We had three students and three instructors. We were able to take the guests to Sidewinder. It was a fun lesson.
