Early December 25th, we head out for Lost Trail to do a little skiing and snowboarding. It had been two years since the kids and I have been able to go, so I didn't know how great we were going to be.
Turn out, the kids were great- they picked right up from where they had left off. They spent a lot of the day on the bunny hill, getting reacquainted with the whole idea of sliding down a hill while standing with things attached to their feet.
We stayed with them until we knew they were going to be fine, and then we look a few runs with friends. It is cool that the kids are at an age now where Derrick and I can ski together, instead of taking turns while one of us stays with the kids. :)
Derrick took Derrin down his first big run, while Kloe and I warmed up in the lodge. When they got back, all four of us went on a big run together. The first little bit was hard for Kloe because it was so much steeper than the bunny hill. I remember how scary learning to turn from side to side can be. There was the moment where she realized there was no going back; a little bit of panic ensued. After she got up and decided going down the slope was the only way she was going to get off the mountain, she rocked it. She was all ready to head back up by the end, but unfortunately by then, it was time to go.
We hope we can get out there two or three more times this year. All of our skiing/snowboarding abilities would surely benefit.
