Do they even still do Wordless Wednesday? I think I tried once but still had to narrate a bit. It's an affliction of mine. I think it is called Talkitis, or something like that.
Anyhoo, our ski trip went wonderfully. Our boys are naturals. There, I said it. I bragged. But they really are. Poor Pete snowboarded and if you haven't done this, then know that you will fall a lot in the beginning. In fact, I'm pretty sure teaching you to fall is one of the first lessons. Well, I'm not sure at all and Pete just informed me that he wasn't taught to fall - it just came naturally. lol.
RePete took up skiing. Seeing him zooming by on short little skis with no poles just cracked me up. I asked his instructor when they recommend poles and he stated that he doesn't recommend them until one can ski a black diamond with proficiency. WHAT! And he didn't say "one". He's more of a "dude" kind of dude.
Okay so at least now I know why I suck at skiing. It's the poles. Next year - no poles. I'll let you know how that goes.
Here's a picture of me and my ski bunny.

Sounds like great fun!

ReplyDeleteIt's been so long since I hit the slopes - that I'm probably older than the mountain.
