Thanks Jim! Trying to find the balance between enthusiastic and stupid has proven to be more of a challenge than I was expecting haha

Yeah I have lessons booked at Mt Snow on the 29th but even that is looking sketchy now so I was trying to get a jump on things.

Thanks. I wasn't afraid of the hiking or short runs, and despite all this I'm still beyond stoked to get out there. But I'm not an idiot and when its 95% Don't Go, I don't go haha.

Just like the title says! Looking for someone with teaching experience that can show me the basics in the morning and then ditch me. I just went on an emotional rollercoaster with the Killington Ski School. Got a lesson booked and paid for then the lady put me on hold and came back on to tell...
