First Week at My New Winter Home


After spending ten years full time and three years part time at Sundance, I never thought I would find a new winter home. Life does not always go the way we think it is going to go and well here I am teaching at a new place. I spent my first two days doing organizing and paper work for the children's ski program.  It was great that they trusted me with the responsibility before ever seeing me at work. I feel like I have taught just about everything during my years at Sundance.  Well, today was proof that I had not.  After helping get everything organized for the program to start today, I wanted to take the beginning skiers. Wow. That about sums it up. Ok I will go into a little more detail.

Cute but tough. 


Working at a little resort will keep me humble or kill me. I had high expectation on what I would be able to do with my class that grew from 7 to 13 with in the hour. To add to the pressure ALL the parents had a front row view of the total chaos. I am crossing my fingers that next Saturday's lesson goes smoother.

Deep breathing might help you through. I remember preschool with the occational 15 3 year olds and finger paint. Rock on. It took every thing in me and I would go home spent. And that was not on snow.
