Today was our first test run :-) We headed to the mountain and began the lessons. It was rather difficult since I ride "goofy" footed (right foot forward) and he rides regular footed (left forward). Everything I was doing, he had to do it backwards. After a bit he got the hang of the basics and actually did very well. I was proud!
The mountain is not "officially" open but people still ski. It could be better groomed, but perhaps the snow machine will be operational when the official season starts. Good thing is, there was not a lot of people or overly crowded. I'm all for it, if there is snow and the lifts are working, I will be there with bells on!!
This cathedral is coming along beautifully! Very nice view from the gondola today :-)
One day I will have a picture of my family next to this sign
All ready to go! Hehe - He was nervous. Something about learning a new sport mid 30's seems intimidating :-) No longer young and nimble but he tolerated the awkwardness like a champ. And.... he's pretty handsome with a board!
Prone position was his usual for the first hour :-) Poor guy was getting frustrated
Then he got the hang of things and greatly improved. Still fell but it was a bit more controlled and he started to figure out his edges
Most importantly , he had fun and his feet did not hurt!!! We will be back with the kids next time!
