The moment we have been waiting for all season. Our first trip to the ski hill. We decided to rent used skis from Greenwoods for Pennington for the whole season. Pennington was really excited to go get sized and pick up his new skis and boats. Pennington also got a Lucky Bums backpack. Basically it is a backpack with a handle to help parents pick their kids up from off the ground and two ropes to help guide them when skiing. He also got what we call an edgee wedgee. Basically it helps to attach the tips of the skis together so they can make a good wedge. Obviously this makes 100% sense to someone who skis and probably no sense to someone who doesn't.
Sidenote: Pennington has been having some issues remembering to use the bathroom so we have been using skiing as a reward for good behavior.
We went skiing at Brundage on Sunday as a family. Poppy came along as well. We decided last minute to put Piper on skis. She actually did better than Pennington did last year. She lasted longer, had better balance, and didn't really cry.
Pennington did AWESOME... the lucky bums and edgee wedgee are key. So helpful and really made all the difference. We only skied the bunny hill but Pennington went on the chair 10 times and I think Piper went 7 times. Below are some pictures of the kids skiing.
