We've always enjoyed skiing, but while living on the East Coast, we never spent a lot of time making the effort to drive somewhere to go do it. Well here in Vancouver we have no excuses as we have no less than 4 ski mountains within an hour of the house. A few weekends ago I wanted to get Owen out and let him practice some.... it was kindof spur of the moment.. a nice weekend morning, not too cold... and randomly we ran into our neighbors up there so Owen got to ski with some of his friends too. We had him out for lessons almost 2 years ago now and he didn't get to ski at all last season as we were moving up here to Vancouver. I was shocked at how fast he picked it up again. After getting his bearings, and skiing down with me a few times, he was back on his own. One of two runs by himself and he was turning, stopping and having so much fun. We had such a great time and I can't wait to get him back out again!
Here we are with the Peregrym's.
Owen riding up the "magic carpet" It sure beat teaching him how to ride a T-Bar.
The man in action sporting some good form.
Getting ready to ride up to the top again!
Here's a segment of video of Owen skiing. I hit the stop record button accidentally so it cuts short at the end... he continued down around the group of people and came to a stop like an old pro.
