let’s go skiing!
February 2nd, 2008
Have you noticed that all the skiing pictures I post are taken from the chairlift?
Today was the first time my youngest went up the chairlift and skied down the “big hill” with us, and man was it nerve-wracking. He’s pretty small, so if someone hits him, he’s going to get hurt. And because he’s new to skiing, his steer/stop skills aren’t what they should be.
There was one terrifying moment for me when he went flying straight down a blue square trail, faster than I would feel safe. I like to take wide turns to keep my speed down, so that is what I was trying to get him to do, but he couldn’t hear me shouting to him and just kept going. Fortunately he didn’t fall or run into anybody or get run over by anybody. No fear. At least, not for him. I was scared senseless.
