The Natural

Saturday was Gavin's first day on his new skis. The Bunny Hill at Bristol Mountain was still closed, and we didn't have enough snow in our yard, so we packed up and headed over to Grandma's house to make a few runs down Mt. Anderson.

Gavin was looking the role of a pro before he ever even clicked his skis on.

But, the most impressive part of the day came once he did click into his bindings. We talked about how to stand, balance, and steer. Then, he pointed his skis down the hill, and went...all the way down. He's a natural!!

What I was most happy with was that he was having just as much fun falling in the snow, as he was on the skis. As, anyone who has learned to ski knows, falling in the snow is a very important skill to enjoy.

Here's Gavin making his way down Mt. Anderson. Check out that first day form.


We had a great first session filled with lots of fun, cheers, and of course, giggles. Gavin loved skiing, and wants to know when he can go on the "big" mountain. They are calling for a foot of snow tomorrow, so he may just get his wish very, very soon.
