Hi Marilyn
Great to see you yesterday – amazing day!
Just to make it official. We wanted to let you know that we went to the classic ski lesson on Sunday morning. It is a little daunting to wake up to a chilly morning and think of getting out skiing right away, but the thermometer read -18C. The cut off temp. for ski racing and lessons in Canada is -20C so we figured that was good enough for us. At the natural bridge we were greeted by Jessica and the most beautiful freshly packed and tracked trails-even a lesson grid made especially for us. And what an opportunity to be taught by a level 3 CANSI instructor with racing experience. Our class was composed of an expert downhill skier learning to ski cross-country, a cross-country instructor really in need of some technique work and a recreational skier. Jessica was able to keep us moving so that -16C became balmy and a layer or two could come off. She was also very capable of teaching each skill so that everyone was able to learn and then gave us pointers according to our individual needs so that each of left the morning with something to work on for the rest of the season… After that we could not stop ourselves-Pierre and I skied right to the end of the Otterhead trail – a sunny day, perfectly set tracks and amazing mountain views. The cross-country skiing here is “second to none”. We really have a GEM with our ski club in the mountains.
See you soon.
Wendy
