Also you need time. Lots and lots of time. I have pretty much given up skiing on my own for the last 5 years toi teach my kids. I will tell you this it will pay off.

I heard that on the news. We are getting a dump tomorrow night. 6 to 12 inches when you live here you just need to be happy that there is snow to ski on.

You are so right. That was a bad idea. I'm sending him to mogulskr for training. That guy has commitment.

Hey mogulskr, what will you require a 6-pack of as payment for your services?

PBR - huh no , Bud Light would work for group lessons, private lessons will require Magic Hat or the like.

I think I am about 1 more year away from skiing where I want with my kids and I think only a couple of years to heading out west where I hear there is snow that does not make noise when you ski on it.

Here's a vid the young one.

I have, Alta and Snowbird for a week. It was before I had kids. I figure if I head back out there I need my kids to be able to ski well and hold there own.
