No-show on my morning private again. Taught a level-2 woman in the morning and ran a clinic on switch riding with Ian, Wayne, and Kaylie in the afternoon.
|
Morning private with a 13-year-old level two. Went out with Bonnie's clinic for a couple runs in the afternoon. Hot.

Another morning private with the same kid. Nothing in the afternnon.
Arrived at winter league ultimate just as the game was starting. We had a small but potent team, beating the Blue team 37-29 i think. My goals for every winter league session are to:
- Throw a push pass
- Throw a hammer
- Get a block
- Score a goal
Tonight i did all four in one game, including two high-catch goals against a young athletic defender. A fifth goal is to throw a goal, but those usually come pretty regularly, so it's not in the main goals. I didn't throw a goal this game.

Morning private, level two. No afternoon lessons. Andrew, Rachel, and i took a run through the trees between Searle's Way and Nor'easter.
|
Morning private with a very analytical woman who needed help with turns and traverses. Warm day—snow got slushy. Nothing in the afternoon.
|
Morning private with a level one kid and his mom, afternoon private with a 7-year-old girl who could connect turns on Green terrain, and her brother's friend, who could barely slide down the bunny slope.
|
I took three runs through the halfpipe in the morning and looked back to see that all of the tracks in it were mine. I had a morning group lesson of one level-2 adult. In the afternoon i went out to "audit" a snowboard halfpipe clinic run by Gretchen. It went well, and was pretty cool since we had about 16 snowboarders in it!
|
Morning request private—a friend of Hal's. He was 64 years old and took a couple of tumbles, but did well. Nothing in the afternoon.
|
I was on group hold and scheduled to be over at Jackson Gore, but then a private lesson showed up on the clock tower side so i took it. It was two brothers, ages 4 and 6, who fought with each other for most of the lesson and didn't really want to learn anything. Trying.
|
Annabel and i rode the parks at Mt. Snow for most of the day.
|
Steady rain—freezing rain at the top, so the bubble lifts weren't running. I took the Black Ridge Triple up with a couple patrollers, then slid down to Jackson Gore. Lots of instructors, very few lessons, so i got sent home. Had to take the shuttle back to the Clock Tower base.
|
Morning private with a group of four kids—all good skiers but first-time snowboarders. Nothing in the afternoon, so i went home. That evening, Vail announced that it would be closing all of its resorts for a week due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
|
I posted a picture of my home self-isolation post.

I spent the day recording myself reading all of my published children's books. You can watch them all here.

|
A post-season dumping of snow. Oh nature, you tease.
|
I drove over to Okemo and walked around the base areas, shooting some pics and video. Eerily empty.
