Do not miss a few days at Aspen Highlands - we vacationed at Snowmass for several years, and each year our day “allocation” to the Highlands grew larger. Great terrain and much better vibe. I’d skip Ajax altogether unless you have a high need for glitz!

> Our last class was especially interesting. I was leading and I sent out an intro email asking about them and what their goals were. I normally get short stock responses ...... but this one was providing responses in dramatic details, LOL! Then as I sat in the conference room finishing up wfh for the day, the pupils trickled in. I made eye contact with them and I could immediately tell that they sure were eclectic or maybe even eccentric. This was all a very good thing as it kept the class lively and discussions were intriguing especially when they observed things I've never seen anyone observe before. They kept us instructors on our toes which we enjoyed.
> For the last day we were in the field. Ivo, our newly minted AIARE instructor wanted to come along and I unleashed him and let him drive while I kicked back a bit. Part of leadership often is to cultivate new blood and let 'em rip. It was obvious he took notes very well from his AIARE instructors and IFMGA Guide Emilie Drinkwater as he kicked a$$. He's a big guy as well as being gentle and polite and with his "Boolgar-r-r-rian" (Bulgarian) accent, he caught the attention of the women in the class - they loved him!
> At the end of the class, a student from Catalonia (yes, much like the Basques they are distinct from the rest of Spain) who races for the Plymouth State U Panthers (she so ripped the Sherb') stated in her accent that the course was helpful in giving her "the tools to combat my 'Stoke Attacks' " (it was funny to listen to when you were there). Now you can see why I enjoy teaching these courses!

Ron, a Southern gentleman and Director of Education at Colorado Mountain School joined me and led the class "Check-In" and here's what he sounded like:"How y'all doing?

Now I've been told frequently that I am women friendly in outdoor pursuits and a good advocate/ally for women's sports. Nonetheless I got an education of how women operate own their own - self care, supportive, communication, group dynamics, looking after food/water intake and layering, more communication, happiness ...... . Okay, here's how I run a de-brief once inside: "Okay, I hope all of you are defrosting yourselves. Now what did everyone have for snow, weather and avalanche observations out there today? We're gonna' gather them and post them to the MWAC obs site. After we're done with that, we can dig into our favorite apres bevvies". Yes, posting to the obs site is important: All Observations – MWAC – Mount Washington Avalanche Center as we are getting valuable info from it - it's how we can constructively honor the passing away of Nick Benedix, Ian Forgays and Scott Sandberg. But I loved what the Bates women came up with ...... so, duh I gotta' do both in the debriefing!

Uh-ohhhhhh ...... whaddya' know, 19 years later, we caught up with each other. Ken and I skied together the week before the horrific accident that he was buried in. So, we set up a 1-on-1 Zoom meeting that just had to be done. It lasted an hour and 15 minutes ...... and I won't say anything else. I still do not judge that incident - I just listen. Yes, it was a very important meeting and I got a lot out of it.
> Even with all of the challenges I was having, there were some awesome triumphs on Team Acadia. Josh crushed his ITC, Ivo did likewise with his Pro 1 and ITC and Cord passed his Pro 1 with AAI instructed by Sarah Carpenter who plays hardball. I was given copious thanks for coaching, advising and mentoring with these achievements which made feel oh-so good. Someone then pointed out to me that I have had positive influence over so many over my years in the Presidentials whether it be instructing, helping, volunteering, mentoring, etc.

For avalanche courses, back in the day they used to be taken often by older more experienced backcountry travellers who finally got burned in the backcountry. Nowadays we're getting much younger students wanting to start off on the right foot which is a good thing. But this younger set sure is different from my generation which is "Generation Jones" (omg - we're examples of what not to be). When Mikaela Shiffrin was coming under pressure from the media during the Olympics including cameras getting into her face, someone from the NoCon community (that's dudespeak for North Conway - I am so part of the "in-crowd" ya' know LOL) posted on Facebook a commentary about that. So I just had to respond with "she should do what Woody Hayes did: (48) 1977 Woody Hayes Punches Cameraman - YouTube " . Yes, Woody was going up against his archrival Bo Schembechler in a tight game ...... so a few days later, a mentor of mine was discussing how I handle people in this day and age and he mentioned to me "a problem of yours is that you were raised watching Woody and Bo go at it on national TV ...... yes, I saw that post of yours. So, you have to adjust things for this day and age". Later I then got a feedback email from a 20-something student who gave many complements after mentioning the word "anxiety" twice in his first short paragraph ..... my generation didn't know what "anxiety" was though we sure caused our parents to have lots of it.

> YES-S-S-S-S-S! we had our first Glade Brigade today at Waterville ...... I cannot think of anyone else in the Northeast who yet has broken out and deployed their "glade weapons" as we call them at Waterville. While SkiVt-L sez September 1st is the start of the season, we at SkiNH-L say it's July 5th which is when our Glade Brigade leader Mike says his wife allows him to start to talk about skiing for the upcoming season.
> Wow, a record turnout of 19 including 4 patrollers and our General Manager Tim Smith. I do not know of any other GM that is as hands on as he is - glading with us and even patrolling with us (he'll run a sled or 2 during the season) and at the end of a holiday week, he'll stop into our locker room to thank us and socialize with us. Yes, we have a tight community and I was so happy to be back with them after a 3 month absence.
> I broke out some new glade weapons as we all crushed some lines on Green Peak between Pfosi's and Clean Shaven. Good conviviality was had afterwards in the village flipping burgers and dogs and having deep discussions about snowboarding, telemarking and our new uphill policy. The latter was late in happening but we have it now as it is allowed - before it was not (except if you joined the Sunday Club where we looked the other way and at the end of the season they'd give us a gift of a high end bourbon).
