Last year, I didn't instruct because Cypress Mountain downsized their
staff during the Olympic Games. This year they've changed the rules
enough that it's no longer worth the hassle.


Oh, well... I guess I'll take my level II course this year and see what
next year brings...


Oh well. Maybe you can SKI instead ! :-)


That thought occurred to me, too. ;-)

One of my high school girl friends was a weekend ski instructor at
Cannon Mountain. I expressed envy at her being on the mountain so
much. She said "I spend all day skiing with 6-year-olds!"


Well there's no doubt that there's a fair amount of that when you're
working...

.....but on the flipside, for working only one day a week, I did get a
season pass.

However, I'm not sure it made up for the days when I had to teach...
.....anyone... ...in the rain. :-(
