No instructing for me this winter...

The deal was that I be available to teach when I showed up there. I think I ended up teaching 4 lessons. I knew what day the bump clinic deal was. So those were the days I went. I had other passes too so it wasn't a big deal. It was enough to not try instructing again though. Plus you know how I feel about kids. I figured it was only a matter of time before I got stuck with some. NOT worth it! I have a friend who retired 18+ years ago and went to Breckenridge, worked winters teaching just enough to get a season pass and earn some $$$. This year, he has decided to spend the $$ and buy a season pass and forego instructing so he doesn't have to show up when the weather is miserable. I am waiting to see how it works out, as he was always a very enthusiatic instructor. He even tried to teach me, and I have agreed to never tell any of his students that he taught me, as I was well past the age of learning easily when I took up skiing. But I do enjoy it, even if my style is something for the "never do it like that" section of a lesson. |
