New Boots!!

(Love! Love! Love!)

First and foremost the best part of my day happened this evening when I got custom fit ski boots that fit like a dream =). As you can see in the picture they are so so pretty and I love them! This is great timing because tomorrow we get our all mountain passes and get to ski all day so I can wear my shiny new kicks on the slopes. Besides this wonderful news today was a busy and tiring day to say the least...

We got to sleep in a little and had to get to work at 9. We spent the whole day on the ropes course learning how to do emergency evacs and also how to get people across the elements who are in wheelchairs. YES I said wheelchairs! They get to go across the ropes course as well, it is soo cool! I am so stoked on how there really isn't a NO in the BOEC vocabulary. Everyone is capable of participating in one way or another. The saying here is adapt and overcome which is great. We also use a saying on the ropes course called "challenge by choice". This enables the participant to push themselves to a point that feels comfortable and no matter where they are on the course we can get them back to the platform of back down to solid ground. It snowed almost all day today which is great but sucks because that means I have to shovel in the morning and I was freezing my butt off this morning because I didn't have enough layers. After our lunch break I managed to get on another 3 layers of pants and another 3 layers of jacket and I was set for the rest of the day. On the course I pushed myself to keep volunteering to try the different rescues even though they scared the bejeezers out of me. This took all day and was absolutely EXHAUSTING. Needless to say I am pooped out and tired...

Off to bed soon!
