Riley Learns to Ski

We had the opportunity to stay in Winter Park for a weekend and thought it would be the perfect chance to get Riley on skis for the first time. The week before we took her to get fit for rental equipment. The smallest equipment available was even a bit too big for her. We practiced walking in the boots, stepping into the skis and sliding on the carpet at home before we left.

It was only appropriate for her first lesson to be on Shoo Fly under the Galloping Goose chairlift at Mary Jane, mom's favorite ski area. We got 2 runs in before lunch and 2 more after. She was all smiles the whole day. By the end of the day she was getting the hang of bearing weight (and we all had sore backs, especially a 7 months pregnant mom!). We can't wait to go again next year.
