Powder Shots

At Snowbird they have photographers who are out on the mountain snapping photos of skiers during the day.  Last Saturday there was a photographer out on the Chickadee Bowl area (where the Magic Carpet is located) while Kendall was getting her lesson.  I haven't purchased them so that's why so see the Powder Shots logo on the picture.  I thought they were worth posting regardless.  I may consider a purchase in the future, but for now, here's our little "powder hound" as her daddy calls her.




This is the exact reason that she's in a lesson - you see that "pizza" or snowplow position she's in?  She gives me a hard time about practicing it but will do it for Courtney, her instructor, all the time!  Little Stinker!  Courtney has been great about sharing what teaching techniques she's been using with Kendall so we can both use the same language and I can have Kendall practice the same skills in the same manner.  Last weekend she had to use a stuffed animal to help motivate Kendall.  Good tip to remember!  She would throw the lion into the snow and have Kendall ski down and stop to pick it up.  She also tucked it into her vest so she was skiing with the lion.  Sounds like the famous "whatever works" philosophy I've utilized many times!
