Snowlis




Jane and the rest of the skiers had the opportunity to teach this week. Apparently the ski school overbooked due to the school holiday. The only twist is they all recieved the red jacket from the ski school. This is a big deal because the red ski school was the first school founded in 1929. The jacket carries a lot of respect in the resort. Unfortunately for Jane, Emma, and Lorna, they had to teach snowli kids. This is the side of being a snow instructor no one tells you about. However, everyone needs to experience the snowli kids at least once in their teaching carreer. The Snowli kids are 2-4 years old. Vitually all of them have never been on Skis. At first, the snowboarders were jealous because of the jackets (red jackets eat for free), then we found out that they had to wipe the snowli's butt after they go to the toilet. I'm not jealous anymore. Imagine Izzy and Sarah in their worst temper tantrum and having eight of them. Then when you think things can't get worse, take them to lunch.

Also, Jibber (Matt) had to dress up as Snowli. He basically had to dress up in a giant rabbit suit and play with the kids. Not all of the skiers had the snowli kids. Erica and Liam were lucky enough had private lessons. Liam did have to hold up a kid at the urinal so he could pee. Speaking a second language is a must. There are only two english speaking red jackets here (both are Brits). All of the other ski/snowboard instructors speak at least three different languages.

I think the snowboarders get to wear red jackets next week.
