Fernie 11 Week Ski Instructor Course ‘07 – Week 9
by Leanne
Only two to weeks to go! Some of us are gearing up for the Level 2 next week so it was fairly intense in lessons.
Wednesday afternoon we competed against each other in teams for the Synchronised Skiing title! There was even half naked synchro!
Chris and Cyril, a couple of the ski instructors even demonstrated their synchro style on a tandem pair of skis.
Thursday night was a bit of a wild one. We loaded up the bus and drove to the Pass Powderkeg, for night skiing.
The group cruised the hill and spent a good chunk of time sessioning the jump and rails.
There was some great laughs as everyone hurled themselves through the air, some with interesting form!
The ride home saw a stop at the Pure Country bar, then it was The Hosmer. The party eventually finished up in The Central back in Fernie!
This week saw the last of the guided backcountry tours and private lessons completed. and a group of us headed to Whitefish, Montana for the weekend.
Whitefish was great. We all had some good turns on a different mountain and found some amazingly cheap, end of the season sales.
Saturday night was entertaining with many local pubs and bars and of course no weekend away trip is complete without hot-tubbing!
