We really couldn’t have asked for a more perfect week to finish our course on.
After a rather ‘spring like’ March, it started DUMPING snow on Saturday night and didn’t stop until Tuesday morning.
We had 2 awesome powder days for the AMP evaluations and then a bluebird day for our last day with our instructors.
Our fab pros had organised a boarder-x for this momentous occasion and Jack Simpson took home the sink with his mad speed and aggressive skills.
For the final day of the season we had the morning to free ride and then took the NONSTOP bus to a private clearing where we had a huge BBQ and bonfire. Awesome.
What an amazing 11 weeks! I can’t believe it’s flown by so fast and now the end has come and no one wants to go home.
Great times, fab friends, superb skiing and a top town. Thanks you Red and thanks NONSTOP. I’ll definitely be back for a holiday next year.
Week 10 started early Monday morning with a group of signing up Level 2 course running all week. It was an intense week for those that chose to take the early course. Thankfully it was sunny which made for some great tans, and everyone passed!
The highlight of the week was Hot Dog Day based on the 70’s and 80’s freestyle movie. Everyone showed up in their best retro gear; one pieces, straight skis, jeans, tight pants, all in neon colours. It was bluebird day, perfect for our picnic lunch at the top of Timber.
There was some great 80’s freestyle skiing, the longest human slalom, synchronised skiing, and some huge air! The ski day ended at the Snow Bar on the hill, Wallaby and then traversed its way to the sun soaked deck of the Griz Bar.
A few brave snow warriors, went winter camping at the weekend. Fortunately it was quite mild and there were some elaborate snow quincys (snow caves) built with stairs and all. Everyone made it through the night and woke up to a foot of snow! What a fantastic way to start the morning!
Many are still taking advantage of ski school shadowing opportunities, instructing and hanging out with the pro patrol. Only one week to go!
