Volunteering

Went up Grouse Mt. Sunday morning. *Shit* (sorry for the word.) Had to get up early, I so wanted to sleep more, oh, warm under the blanket, cozy....

But had to get to Gondola at the Grouse at 10am. I am volunteering to teach some disabled people skiing, which is my second year. Last year, I was with sit-skiing and drop-in program. This year, I started with drop-in this December, which is very early.

The student is a hearing impaired young adult, he was doing pretty well first day this year on the slope. It was very hot up there, 9+ degree C. Wow, so hot! Everything went well except he lost his hat:( He could do the parallel skiing, or trying to do that now. We planned to go to the other green or blue run next Sunday.

It is really a good feeling to see those people enjoy the skiing and smile. So getting up early on Sunday is worthy it!
