Recap of the week

Sorry for all of the short blogs ....well lack of blogs as well! I have completed my first week on DV training! Woooohooo!

For a recap, I spent Monday-Thursday training. We learned how to teach kids the sport, how to deal with them, and also just learning the fundementals of skiing all over. I may know how to ski, but getting all the instruction that I got from all of the WONDERFUL instructors....I mean, it was just amazing. It was like getting four days of private lessons (a $2500 deal....for $0!). All of the instructors are so awesome...they have awesome personalities and are so willing to help you in any way they can. I really am at an awesome place.

Thursday night I hung out with some friends and that was really nice to do. Then yesterday (Friday) was a really big eye opener for all of us new instructors. In the morning we went on the snow and did some last minute fine tuning to our skills and teaching ways, THEN in the afternoon we got to teach our first lessons! I got a 10 year old who had never skied before...it was difficult at times, but the overall experience was great! It really reiterates why I am doing this...and I can say.. "I love my job"..it is a wonderful feeling! Last night I went out with some friends in PC. That was really awesome as well!

Today I am going to clean, do laundry, and just rest a little bit. I am going skiing with some friends on Sunday and then have Monday off as well..it then looks like i will be working straight through until after the New Years! AHHHH.

On a side note, Peter graduated from MTU today!!!!! WOOOHOOOO! I am so happy for him and so excited for him and my mom to get out here! It is going to be awesome! :)

I will post pictures of some free skiing I did yesterday after my lesson, so look out for those.

Have a wonderful weekend!
