Ski & Snowboarding Lessons!

January arrived and with enoug snow for Ski and Snowboarding lessons!!

Katy and Asa, having already learned to ski a couple of years ago, decided they wanted to try Snowboarding! (Katy's in the front-the Mint Green/Brown jacket & Asa's right next to her in the Orange jacket.)








Ben and Sophie took SKI Lessons. Here is the beginners group learning how to put their ski-booted feet into the ski bindings. A difficult task for 40-60 pound children to do, 'jamb' their toes into the front and then to 'stomp' their heels in!









Here's Denny, as always, helping out! Denny ended up slapping some skis on himself and going up the hill with the group of skiers, last minute addition Instructor!








Sophie & Ben thought this was the best way up the rope-tow! This lasted for the one day's lesson, the following days they were on their own on the rope-tow!!

Here's Sophie: Denny helping her 'walk' up the little hill in her skis, falling down, 'cheater' ride up the rope-tow, on her own on the rope-tow, and skiing like a pro!!


Ben: Balancing walk in his skis, a little push start from an instructer, a cautious ski down a Small slope, and on his own on the rope-tow!!

Asa's Snowboard: Asa's quick-it didn't take him long to pick up the rope-tow on his own, get to the tope and board down, although, he did have a few falls along the way!

Doesn't he look like he's been Snowboarding for Years!?

And here's Katy: She really looks like a pro-the bent knees and everything!
