Learning to Ski


Since Jackson is too young for "ski school" this year.....we decided to try & teach him how to ski. Much like swimming lessons, learning to ski at this age. is more about getting him comfortable and feeling safe. We went ahead and bought skis since we want this to be more than a one time occurrence. He did GREAT!! He was very good about listening to our directions and was learned how to distribute his weight on the skis. Before we left I had shown him some youtube videos to explain to him what skiing is (he loved to watch the kids ski!)
He took a few tumbles but got up laughing and wanting to keep going. We took our cues from him and tried to give him lots of breaks and playtime in between runs. Hopefully we will get him up at least a few more times this season. Here are some of the pictures that I captured....next time I will give the camera to someone else as I missed capturing some of the action shots! Enjoy!
