His instructors were fabulous and he improved so much in just one session. His instructor said that Riley kept begging to go faster and always wanted to go first so he wouldn't be slowed down by the other kids who weren't as brave! He also said that Riley is skiing with corresponding edges across the hill almost all the time and has been skiing some rather difficult terrain and he's ready to move on to more difficult trails...Whoo Hoo! Go Riley!
I'm going to take him skiing on Sunday if all goes well with the weather...I haven't seen him ski yet this year. He skied with his Dad and his Nanny and Pappy in December so now it's Mom's turn to see what he can do! I can't wait!
Here are some pictures taken of him at ski school this winter:
Three kids in a class...Two instructors...Can't beat that!
Here he is leading the pack...gotta be the lead dog or the view never changes, right?
Check out the snowball in his hand...said he would eat it while skiing!
I'm so proud of my little buddy. He's gotten so much more confident on his skis and with who he is as a person. I never would have gone to ski school by myself. I would have needed another friend or sibling there to give me the confidence to do that all day without my parents! I'm so excited that he enjoys something that his dad and I enjoy. This is going to become a great family activity for us!

That is so awesome! I learned at 14, and to have done it so much younger (and closer to the ground heehee) would have boosted my confidence more. What a great activity to do together!
