1st Time Skiing

The Instructor aka Chad, doesn't he look ready for the job?

Chad was being brave and decieded to take 3 of us skiing for our first time. Isaah was so excited and Jody (my sister) were a little nervous. It didn't start out so great, Jody wasn't feeling well and it was freezing cold. Literally, the thermostat on the truck said 4 degrees when we arrived at Brighton Ski Resort. By time Chad got the lift tickets my hands and feet were frozen and I was ready to go home. But we stayed and had a good time.

Isaah was a pro. Chad took him under his wing and showed him the ropes. By the end of the day he was weaving in and out of people. He didn't not have patience for mom and aunt Jody, we were to slow and fell to many times. He loved it and wanted to go skiing again the next day. Look out on the Black Diamonds, here comes Isaah. (Who knows maybe the olympics:))

Jody was a trooper. It was her first time and I know for a fact she didn't fall as many times as I did. Chad gave us this one and only lesson, snowplow. So we were left on our own while Chad taught Isaah. We did pretty good for our first time. Though she did have this awesome one where it looked like she tripped over something and landed spread eagle, face in the snow and ski's off. Jody and I were both laughing so hard.

Jody is in the red and I am in the blue, we are making our way from the lift to the run. It was hard work and by the end of the day it had warmed up to 12 degrees. Talk about fun in the sun!

Here I am trying to figure out how these skies go on. I must say I did have a few really good falls such as falling off the ski lift while getting off, running into a marker on the bunny hill and last but not least getting taken out by a runaway snowboard (minus the snowboarder). All in all we had fun and are ready to do it again.
