Saturday came and it was off to the mountain. It was a beautiful morning, not too cold and a beautiful sunrise as we drove north. Aiko's kids are also taking lessons. Here they twins are with her oldest Ko.
There were so many kids. Many parents arrived a little too late. This is the line to "check in". Our kids were already with their instructors at this point. Pays to be early!
One of the first things the kids needed to do was to carry their skis. I was impressed how well they could walk in their ski boots while still holding their skis.
Listening to their instructor....a really young kid, but he was really great with them.
Lucas about to head down the "hill"
Trying to teach Lucas to do the snowplow. That's going to take a while.
Liliana coming up on the "magic carpet", which was like a little conveyor belt that takes the kids to the top of the "hill"
Liliana waiting her turn to go down.
I was impressed at all they did on the first day. In the afternoon, we took the kids to the nearby school that has a little hill and they practiced going down hill with no help. They really seemed to enjoy it. It's a lot getting them up, getting everything packed and getting them to the mountain (and home). But its nice to see them enjoying some healthy outdoor fun in the winter time.
