Season 24-25: Day 52

Today was the season finale. I couldn’t believe it was over. Since it was the last day, I didn’t want to teach. I snowboarded in the backside and then watched pond skimming. Five of my co-instructors joined the contest. Four of them were snowboard instructors. It was such a fun event. I didn’t participate because I had never done it before and I didn’t want to embarrass myself.

After enjoying a veggie bacon cheeseburger with fries for the last time for lunch, I felt sleepy. Again, I passed the lesson on to other instructors. I went carving some more in the backside. Around 3:00 pm, I called it the day. I returned my uniform and said goodbye to my wonderful co-instructors.

I must admit. I was getting a bit sentimental. Even though this was my first season as a snowboard instructor and I only got to know other instructors for a couple of months, I found a little bonding with them. We shared the same passion. None of us was here for the money. We weren’t paid enough. We were here because we loved skiing and snowboarding and we wanted to welcome more people into these winter sports.
