Today Colin and I both taught our first ski lessons!
I had the Esprit beginners (they're a British tour group)...about 10 3-4 year olds. At least they speak English, phew. It was fun but really hard work. Try running up and down a snowy hill picking up small kids for a morning. Some of them are sooo cute, but its tough. Only 2 episodes of tears and almost all of them can snowplow stop now. (Or as I frequently yell: BIG PIZZA!!!) It's the ones that can't that take all the effort. And I've learnt the Bobo dance (giant furry penguin, the kids club mascot) that I have to do at the beginning and end of every lesson with the kids. Good times. I have the same kids every morning this week and then I'm on call for private lessons booked in the afternoon. We bought some champagne for tonight since all 3 of us are working now :) Tom is at work in the ski shop at the moment. He seems really happy with it - apparently the guy he's working with is good fun and they play great music in there.
Oh, and Sarah was officially the first person to call me on my new phone at 7am today.
