As an update, my entry back into ski school was great this weekend! It was fun to meet new people and everyone was really nice! There were 4 women in my group including me and 2 men with a female instructor. Groups are supposed to stay between 4-7 students each. The instructor was great and already had me on trail lip edges and down into softer bumps to start relating the long leg short leg drills we were using in there as well after I mentioned my goals were geared towards working on technique in ungroomed snow, bumps, and trees this season on a lift ride. Whenever I was behind her specifically and the trail allowed for it she started guiding me off to the edges and off of the groomed areas since fully natural trails aren't available yet. Really appreciated this focus already starting though!
Funny enough (or maybe not all that surprising really), majority of my group (including the instructor) are from MA. On various lift rides we discussed the sites we were using for testing before heading up north each week so I feel good knowing the people I spoke to about it anyway are complying. Everyone I spoke to also has a place on or off the mountain that they own or rent for the season.
Everyone had a face covering that they left up the whole 3 hours for lift rides as well as skiing. Usually I pull mine down when I ski, but didn't because we stop quite a bit to regroup, so I didn't feel like dealing with that. I did have my goggles up a lot though because it was pretty warm, we weren't skiing super fast to make my eyes tear up, and I was fogging up a little when I had them down. For lifts we are allowed to ride 2 to a chair on triples, 2-3 to a chair for a quad, and I don't remember the rule for a 6 pack as we didn't use that lift. Suffice it to say that we were not filling chairs anyway, and people are allowed to ride however they feel comfortable as long as chairs aren't full.
A huge perk besides the camaraderie and instruction this season is DEFINITELY being able to skip lines during that main part of the day. So happy I chose this season to start back with the seasonal program, and I sure hope we can keep it going all season.
