Took my daughter skiing for the first time today!!!
« on: January 21, 2010, 05:44:12 PM »
We headed to a local hill today for an awesome day of skiing. This was Evie's very first time, she did amazing. I was totally surprised by how well she was able to do in such a short time frame.

The second video is only about her 5th or 6th time down. I was holding her for all of them up until then. She said she wanted to do it "all by herself," so I let her. I was expecting some sort of a crash and tears...but I'll be dammed if she didn't make it all the way down the little bunny hill by her self. (and ended up right at the conveyor back up too!)

Unemployment with severance and knowing that there are several opportunities just waiting for you is a beautiful thing.  I'm totally enjoying this sabbatical from work.

On to the pictures:



















And here are some Videos:

Glad you had a good time at Cascade Mtn.

Pretty cool that Evie was that "good" first time out.

Great to see someone teaching their kids to enjoy the outdoors! And winter no less!!! ;D 

I can't believe now days you hardly see any kids playing outside in the snow.  We were always out side after school even when it was bitter cold.  Last weekend group of us went off of firelane 8 with the sleds and grilled out and had a blast.  Buddies kids 8 and 6 couldn't get a enough snowmobile rides.

Didn't you get the PM here on the forum?  No biggie.  We haven't seen you on the board for a while and I know you take an extended vacation to CO.  I thought you might be out there.

Brad and I are thinking of Skiing one of these evenings...Thurs. prob.   But I think we're going to Granite Peak for the two for one lift tickets.  Oh....and I signed up for Ski Patrol at Nordic (closest hill for me,) so I'll hopfully be hearing from them about when they're going to do the classes for the medical and then to on hill stuff next year.
