Last day at Jay: Ski Patrol and Ski School

For my last rotation at Jay I shadow a Ski patroller in the morning and a snowboard instructor in the evening. When I arrived at ski patrol they didn’t have much work for me so they sent me out to shadow a patroller open his assigned trails. It took us 3 runs to check his 8 trials. In order to ok the trials we had to make sure there were proper signage and no dangerous skiing and riding terrain. After that was done I was set off for some free riding before I had to meet at the top patrol shack for 10:45. It was a slow day for ski patrol so I just hung out with Ziggy until lunch time. For the second half of the day I was with ski school. I do have previous year of instructing experience under my belt so I did understand most of what goes on in ski school. They had me shadow Joe Jones who is a level 3 instructor and is assui certified to certify other instructors. Joe is a very high rank instructor and I learned some good tips to teaching surface tricks. Friday was a pretty laid back day for me. I didn’t learn much but the tips I got where very helpful. Overall my experience at Jay was awesome and I will definitely keep them at the top of possible employment.
