Today I taught the last lesson of six with a pair of adorable and sweet sisters I feel really lucky to have gotten a chance to work with. I'm going to miss them.

Ski instruction can be exhausting and has its frustrations, but I love that I get to help people grow and have fun.

One of my students asked me how old I am tonight and when I told her asked, "How can you be older than my mom?"

My answer?

"By being born before she was."

Took my daughter's partner out for their first attempt at skiing today!

Their surfer instincts served them well and despite the challenging conditions, they made terrific progress. And best of all, they had enough fun they want to do it again!

I need to re-waterproof my gloves. I left today's lesson with wrinkled fingers...

But despite the rain, I had a lot of fun. My Monday students are really sweet and a blast to ski with. Today was all smiles with no tears. And they're losing the pizza in their turns. Huzzah!

Gotta get ready to go teach. I'm not exited about the damp fog, but I an excited to get to see my students and help them get more comfortable on chair-serviced terrain.

Skied with my daughter today. At one point, I was facing an intimidating drop and she talked me through it with the exact words I talk my students through unloading the lift.

She started teaching before me and has been on skis since she was 2, so is way better than me at all this.

FINALLY taught my first lesson of the year. Despite the conditions, they made AMAZING progress.

I tried to explain to them how impressive linked turns ON ICE your first week is, but I don't know if they believed me.

Next week we should have fresh snow. They're going to rock it!

One thing we covered in my clinic today was how we need to treat ourselves like we treat our students. No yelling. No name calling.

Seriously. If a student told me their last instructor treated them like my inner voices treat me, I'd demand a name and try to get that person fired.

Your book may be written by a ski instructor (or maybe a Ski Patroller) if every ski scene features people specifically checking for other skiers before starting their runs.

Completely exhausted from orientation. I am excited about a few of the changes for the new season, tough, including my new ability to schedule private lessons should I ever meet anyone who a) wants to learn to ski, b) can afford a private lesson, and c) isn't already in one.

I haven't accomplished much thus far today, but I did get my winter boss contacted about my proposed schedule.

If it's approved, I won't have many more hours than last year, but I'll have a few.

I'm really excited to get to teach more people how to ski. So come on, snow!

Taught my final lesson of the year, which is bittersweet. SO proud of what I helped these kids accomplish in 6 weeks.

But also bummed because spring. Bleh. The only thing worse than spring is summer.

Thing I tell my beginner ski students that most don't believe: They should be incredibly proud of themselves for showing up. It really takes a lot to try a new, scary thing. They're all superstars and I wish they knew it.

#SkiInstructor Chronicals: Helped someone today who was previously taught a breaking wedge and put right on a chair by an inept ski school. Had to work out A LOT of trauma and I applaud her bravery to try skiing again after a textbook example of a BAD first lesson.

A small plastic Glaceon Pokemon held in a white person's hand

In personal #SkiInstructor news: I passed the PSIA Level 1 Exam today. I credit pushing my limits, helpful trainers, the support of my fellow candidates, and the lucky Glaceon I had in my pocket.

My favorite was preying mantis, which got us leaning forward and shifting our balance from ski to ski by aiming our hands where we wanted to go, but the kid favorite was birds. 🦜 We all agreed flailing our limbs around like we decided an octopus to do was ineffective. 🐙

I taught a ski lesson yesterday where we pretended to be different animals all session. (It's a great way to "trick" kids into learning what's effective and what isn't while they think they're just playing around.) And we all had a lot of fun.

Conditions for the lesson I taught last night were extremely challenging. I really hope next week has easy snow so the kids can see they're rock stars despite struggling some yesterday.

Have a lesson tonight with a group who had an unexpected 3 week gap in their 6 week sequence. I really hope they've retained the last lesson and are still ready for the more challenging terrain they were itching to get to. Working on plans for getting them back OR moving them onward.

Despite all the rain yesterday, I had a young student exclaim, "This is the most fun I've ever had!" And that right there is why I LOVE to teach skiing.
