Clouds in Seattle, Sun in the Mountains!

Guess who had her first day down hill skiing experience.  She did great and was able to make wedges down the hill.  Keep in mind there is little control at this point but she is figuring it out and most importantly had a great time.  Actually begged to keep skiing even after her lesson was over.  I was happy to oblige for sure.



 It helped that we went with Maeve and Shauna and that it is killing Elizabeth that Maeve can do the big lift.  Motivation helps.  It will be so fun when they are on level playing fields and we can all ski together.  Oh and yes one day I will have her carry her own skis but now the sled is king.  Right now I am still in the marketing phase of skiing and need to keep it fun.  Once fun then I will work her for sure.
Of course tonight when going to bed she whined that skiing was hard and sometimes scary and she didn't want to do it again and only wanted to cross country ski.  Alas we will see what she says in the morning.  Sleep changes perceptions for sure.  Just cross country skiing doesn't sound that bad either!
