Yo, it’s been quite a while since the last post on this blog… my apologies! But I’ve been enjoying this year’s winter blessings like I hadn’t for about 10 years. This year has been the 4th time I co-conducted a ski camp in Sörenberg (Lucerne, Switzerland) with a school from Bellmund and it was the bomb for quite a few special reasons. But number one was the amount of snow falling during January and also calender week 7! The 10 to 12 year old pupils witnessed a phenomenal week on skis and snowboards and were taught how to handle their choice of gear in a good meter of fresh powder snow. Despite the persisting snowfall, the sight was quite good and we managed to have an injury-free week, culminating in a perfect sunny day on Friday to close it off.
For me, this was like waking up from a year-lasting nightmare of snowlessness and bad luck in choosing the ski holidays. Having had the service done on my board just before the camp, I enjoyed it even more.
I know some people may have got used to the milder winters with strong snowfalls, but not quite as well distributed on the season. I feel sorry for them, because when I was a kid, winters like the one we have now were normal.
I wish all the people a joyful and sound winter season… enjoy it, because spring is going to come sooner or later!
