Ski Day


I have been to Beaver Mountain twice in two weeks which might be a record for me. Max is in lessons and we took Klein up yesterday for her maiden voyage. It was somewhat successful. We put her directly into a private lesson with Tonya and she is strong and has the basics but is still just three and had a few moments of tears. She has also outgrown her new ski outfit that I bought in November. She might be wearing her cute pink helmet with Max's hand- me -downs next time.
Max is pretty much tearing up the mountain. I can honestly not keep up with him. He thinks that lessons are boring but we are going to keep him in lessons for as long as possible. He looks for every little jump or tree path to take no matter where we are. His new favorite run is a "secret" trail at the top of the Face and then across the top of the Face and down the Ridge. He can ski top to bottom without a break. I am just glad he is in green so I don't lose him.
Most people are complaining about Beaver not having enough snow. It really is sparse but honestly, it isn't that bad. And it has been pretty warm on both days I was there so it was nice. I am definitely a fair weather skier. This warm January weather is nice but I am afraid for what might be coming...

Julie! I'm so jealous you've been skiing twice in one week! I haven't been for years! I miss it! I love the Beav too! It's the BEST! Hopefully, with all of these storms moving in, you guys get dumped on! That's exciting about Max and Klein! Klein looks adorable in her one piece! You guys are going to be a family of ski bums! ;) They say a family that skis together, stays together! Right?!?! That is awesome! We'll make our debut one of these days!
