Next Level
So my trip to Whistler has most certainly been worth it. 
I have just completed my Level 2 course with the CASI. So basically it means i have another badge to show off, but more importantly it means i can easily teach in Europe and the Alpes. 
Not everyone was lucky enough to meet the standard this time, but none the less were are all enjoyed a final week skiing together.
Our trip to Vancouver 
was a great oportunity to get out of town and experince some City life. while some of the lads enjoyed hanging about the computer game stores playing with the new PS3 and Wii i went with some others to see more of the city and spent time in the Dock (where we had some nice food and found the Steam Clock) 
, Aquarium 
(we love Beluga Whales) and Stanley Park. 
Spring arrived 
and the majority of the village snow melted as the freezing level rose. Slush has arrived and we have seen how waterproof our gear really is. Its still snowing though and with more free time on our hands we have been truley 
pushing ot to the limit. Andy and i are determined to have skied every run on the mountain while also nailing 360’s.
Sadley we have had to say good bye to our old home 
and good friends. 
But a strong few are still here and going strong. 
But people are dropping like flies, which Andy can speak for literally (entering the Couloir on Whistler, following Tom, andy decided to drop and loose his skis so he could do the run on his belly, nice move. Ski patrol arrived shortley after offering me an alternate/safer point of entry). Anyhow, saying farewell usually means some good nites out. 80’s night at Tommy’s was the best yeat, with Robbo 
and Rowland 
celebrating their Birthdays, and a long night in Buffalo Bills sealed the deal.
The plan for now is, still the search for snow, 
but i am awaiting a special delivery of Betty, who arrives next week, ready to be my first pupil on the slopes. And then i suppose i need to think about returning back to London for a new home, job and summer.
