After his lesson, I spoke with his instructor and found that he did really well and is close to being ready to ski without his clamps - still a little wobbly without them, but after one more lesson, he should be good. We filled his belly with pizza and brownies and then headed back out to "Explorer" to show Momma how he can ski. This was my first time seeing him in action. I was pleasantly surprised! He was able to turn, control his speed and laugh the entire way down the trail! We had so much fun. By the end, I was able to get him to follow me through a trail through the woods. He was so proud of himself and said that was the best part of his day!
Check out this video of him skiing:
Mom, Dad and I took off first thing in the morning and got in as many runs as we could before we had to go pick up Riley - we knew the afternoon would not be as productive (for us) with the little man. We were flying downhill and the fact that we didn't have to wait at all to get back on the Milly Express lift meant we could get that many more runs in! It was what Kevin calls a "bluebird" day. The sun was shining and we could see blue skies! We all had a fantastic time! Riley can't wait to go skiing again. I am considering taking him up to Park City this Friday when he's off of school and taking advantage of their Start Now program. As long as you are new to skiing and you are a Utah resident, you can get a lesson including rentals for $25! Yes, you read that correctly...only $25! And the best part is that you get to return 4 more times for skiing or lessons for that price! It would be a shame to let that go to waste! We could get two lessons at Park City with rentals cheaper than one lesson at Brighton with rentals!
