What a great day of skiing! Mathew has gone from crying at the sight of his ski boots to asking "Can we go (s)kiing? I go (s)kiing!" Mathew skies down the bunny hill on his own with his hands on his knees. When he gets to the bottom, he says "Again!"
This time, we got him on the chair lifts. He did a couple of green runs on a harness with Chris. He had a great time!
Nathan and I skied green runs together. He started out on a harness and after he was comfortable I started dropping the harness straps and letting him ski the bottom half of the runs on his own while I followed. He is a speed demon and figured out that he goes faster by tucking down lower, resting his elbows or forearms on his knees (instead of hands on his knees). By the end of the afternoon, he was able to ski an entire green run without the harness.
