Ski Season

The ever-generous Kogers let us borrow their kids’ skis this season, so for Zachary’s birthday he got ski lessons!

Well, technically he got a little coupon that said “Ski Lessons.”  But if you know anything about our family then you know we love home-made coupons.

I opted for Night-skiing Lessons because they were cheaper, but the best part is that we nearly got a 2 for 1 deal AND Private Lessons.  The 1st night it started raining and there was lightning so they had to close the ski lift after an hour into Zack’s lesson.  So we got a rain check and came back the next week for another full 2-hour lesson!  Zack was the only one in his “group” because it’s the end of the season and most people don’t take lessons just before the snow melts.  Go figure!

Day 1:

Here’s Zack waiting in line the 1st night with his instructor Kasey, thrilled about getting on the lift…but then it closed before they got on.  But before that he did get to go down the bunny hill for an hour.

 

Getting some pointers…

 

And a wedgy…

 

 

Day 2:

Zack was pretty pumped and happy to pose with his instructor the 2nd night, Scott, who reminded me very much of my little brother David for some reason.

 

 

I’d say it was a huge success.  Zack can hardly wait for next season and I’m excited to have a ski-buddy.
