Welp.... damn coronavirus is causing havoc. Was supposed to be headed out on my first solo road trip to mammoth in the morning tomorrow to prep for my level 3 snowboarding exam, the first half of the exam process on Tuesday and Wednesday. Not only did I get a call from the lodge at the resort to get word that mammoth is shutting down indefinitely, which means my exam is cancelled, I get emailed information from professional ski and snowboard instructors of America(my instructor organization) that exams are cancelled, and I get emails from our bosses here that all resorts within the Alterra network are shut down indefinitely. Which includes Big Bear mountain Resorts which is here where I work. Crap storm all ruining my three and a half day get away to go take my exam. Which I got a scholarship to pay for it this year! Ugh.....
I was in the garage at my best friends parents prepping the Nali tonight for the trip when I got the heads up!
on the upside since I’m now not going to stagecoach, I will be free the last weekend in April, which is when we have our big annual western division ski and board instructor convention, and if the resorts open back up and convention is still good to go, there will be a level 3 exam going on during convention. So I will be able to go for convention and take the exam and still use my scholarship! So fingers crossed that I can go to convention and take my exam!
