Ski Spec exhaustion

( Chris [left] and Eddie[right] )

Ski Spec has been the most tiring thing I have done in a loooong time, holy moly! I am going into my 6th day of work on an 8 day stint and I am pooped out. I have loved all of Ski Spec and teaching Eddie how to mono ski while learning a lot myself. We were accompanied for the second part of the week by Chris Devlin Young who is basically a paralympic badass. He has been in the sport for over 20 years so he kinda knows what he is talking about. Yesterday night it snowed a ton (14 inches). Lots of snow is great except when it is my week to shovel and would y look at that folks it is my week...greeaaaat. As if my back isn't sore enough from a long week of fun now I get to shovel a bunch of snow in the morning before work. Today I had a lesson with a mono ski again but my participant was about 12 years old. Poor guy was not used to the cold weather and it was pretty chilly and windy out today. After just about every run we needed to go inside and warm up so that he could hold up his outriggers. He was a trooper and made it through the day which was great. He came with a youth at risk group from his school. They come out to Breck 9 times this season and learn how to ski/board. The week has been so much to take in but I have really enjoyed it. I finallh feel lik eI am in the right place at the right time and with all the right people. It feels pretty dang great!

Night,
xoxo
