Well for two years we've been able to get away with just 2 kids hitting the slopes but this year our little 5 year old begged and begged for ski lessons! Actually she wanted to snowboard but we wouldn't let her. So while Mason has been sick this week, we banned him from leaving the house all weekend and I took Haven and Landon skiing at Hesperus. Hesperus is not a ski resort, just a ski hill with very few runs but very laid back PLUS you can see the skiers the whole time. Haven got a 1 1/2 hour ski lesson (mainly to appease her) on how to stop on ski's and she just couldn't nail it! But she was awfully cute!!
Her instructor was kind of a burly man and she can be quiet bashful at times......
I quickly realized that a 5 year old can't pick it up as fast as a 9 or 11 year old! It only took Landon and Mason one lesson and a lot of practice on their own to get it but for this little girl, I'm afraid multiple lessons will be in order. I also realized that the 5 year olds out there that do actually ski have parents that ski and work with them early on. She had fun though!
Saturday was a gorgeous day and no one was hardly at Hesperus so Landon just about had the hill to himself!
