Just about finished up with the ski season thankfully. My last teaching day was actually two Saturdays ago. They decided to run ski and ride school out of summit only and in skeleton crew so all the part time instructors got cut from the schedule and end of seasoned. I was happy about that move. Been cranking out detail work like crazy. Took a 24 turn around trip to Lake Havasu last Thursday to detail a boat and a 2013 Range Rover for a long time customer. 93 degrees in Lake Havasu and I soaked up every minute of it. Denali ran flawlessly there and back. Hammered out an oil change and an air filter clean up the night before the drive. Got home and rotated my still pretty new Michelins and while I had them off decided to give the back sides of each whee a thorough cleaning. They were FILTHY!!!

Cleaned up nicely. Good to get rid of the nasty winter crud. Had a quick little dusting of snow right after getting home from Lake Havasu but looks like we’re done with snow now.

Racking up the miles. Left at 2am today to head back up to mammoth for spring Professional snowsports instructors of America convention. Every two seasons I have to take clinics to keep my teaching certifications current. Exams for certs also count for keeping certs current but I didn’t take an exam last year like I’d planned. Nor did I take one this season like I’d planned. So I had to head up here and do clinics at convention otherwise I’d be into inactive status and don’t want that. Despite the early morning wake up call and the travel and my busy schedule this week clinics today were a ton of fun. Racking up the miles on the Nali though. He’s handling it just fine though haha. That’s how I started the morning:

Had never made the mammoth drive in the dark and it was so weird glancing up, knowing where I was on the drive, and still thinking…. “Wait am I’m going the right way?!” lol. Anyways the sunrise over the mountains this morning was stunning and the light hitting the rocky hillsides at the last stretch of the drive was really cool.

296 miles today per the trip computer. At least I’m living up the adventureNali screen name lol
