Great day of training. We spent the morning free skiing with individual focus and getting the lay of the land on the glacier. Here Chaz gets a lift with Jitloff and a view from the top.
My parents didn't ski, but I'm thankful they had the smarts to introduce me to the sport at age 10. Now in my 40s, I'm loving the fact that my daughter had the benefit of learning to ski at a very early age. Living just 15 minutes from the largest ski resort in the East helps, too (Killington and Pico in Vermont). I hope you find some ideas, insights and a bit of humor in some of my posts, as we share together the fun and passion of pointing our sticks (or big, wide stick) downhill.
