It is finally time for our first ski trip of the season! After our somewhat complicated last visit, we made sure that everyone had their gear and that Jeremy and I had the key to the top carrier ready to go.
For the first part of the day I stayed on the bunny hill with Cambrie and Daxton as they figured things out. The hill was perfect for Cambrie to figure out exactly how snow boarding is supposed to go. She picked it up really quickly and was having a great time.
We decided that we were going to teach Daxton how to ski off-leash this season. I wasn't sure how everything was going to go with this kid, but after practicing his s-turns all morning, he got the hang of it and was loving life. Around lunch time we met back up with Jeremy and the other kids. They had cruised over to Peru to ski some more difficult stuff. While hanging out with us Kelton practiced his skiing backwards skills. That kid is so comfortable on skis.
We decided to take the bunny hill graduates over to the bigger hills at least once before calling it a day. It was a little rough and they were pretty tired by the time they made it to the bottom of the hill. Part of the problem were the crowds and waiting in those long lift lines. Hopefully we can avoid crowds like that as the season goes on.

I think we still need to work on some skills and endurance, however, this is still looking to be a very promising season!
