Miss Sasha is fearless. Truly... The child is not afraid to climb, jump, and fall. Plus, she is fascinated by snow (which we have seen plenty of this winter). I had an inkling she would enjoy skiing.
With that idea in mind, we decided to give it a try this weekend. Ski gear in hand, Miss Sasha, Mike, Ari and I ventured out to Camelback mountain. It was a gorgeous winter day... the kind of a day when the sky is the bluest of blue and the sun is shining brightly while light snowflakes are falling gracefully... Ah, just perfect...
We didn't really get to the slopes until about 2pm. It took us a very long time to get outfitted. Snowsuit, boots, bindings, skiis... Thank goodness for extra hands:
Finally, it was time for Miss Sasha's first ski lesson. She was a very brave little girl, agreeing to stay with her class all by herself. She listened to her teachers and tried very very hard:
Here is Miss Sasha's attempt at "pizza" - learning how to stop:
And she is finally off:
Miss Sasha learned so much that by the end of the day she was able to ski down bunny slopes harnessed to either Mike or Ari. She loved it, asking to ski down over and over again - "just one more time". It was a long but satisfying day. Judging by the fact that Miss Sasha had a very hard time parting with her rental skis, I think we will be back on the slopes in no time.
