Cole Learns to Ski

We met my dear friend Christine and her husband and son at Mt. Baker today. To my constant dismay they have moved to Arizona and we only get to see them once or twice a year. Christine's son, Ryan, and Cole both took their first ski/snow board lessons and they both ROCKED the hill!

We rented skis for Cole. Tiny skis and tiny boots! I was feeling incredibly nostalgic remembering my own first day learning to ski at the Little Ski Hill in McCall.

Learning to snow plow.


Wiping out but still having fun.


Ryan learning to snow board.


We headed in after Cole's 1 hour lesson to warm up and have lunch in the lodge. Audrey was a super trooper all day. I carried her in the ergo carrier and she did nothing but smile and enjoy the action.


After lunch we headed over to the handle tow for more practice. They've really made some improvements on tows in the last twenty years!




Alex and Cole made a couple runs on the bunny hill.


While I watched the boys ski, Audrey napped.




One happy boy! He's ready to go again though he wants to try boarding next.
