A couple of firsts for Leah

We didn't make it back to the big mountains again this season, but we took a couple of trips to Table Mountain in the Battlefords.  We all played hooky on Valentine's Day and had an awesome day skiing together.  Leah had skiied once last year with the use of a harness but this was her first day skiing independently. After only a few runs down the bunny hill she was anxious to head up on the chair lift.  She picked it up very quickly and would have happily kept skiing when the rest of us called it a day.  We went back again in mid-March and she improved even more.  All 5 of us will be ready to take on the big mountains together next year - can't wait!!

Here's a video of her at the end of the day on February 14th - her first day skiing independently:



Skiing all together on March 14th

Yesterday was another big day.  Leah finally agreed to have her training wheels removed on the weekend and mastered it yesterday.  Here's a video of her tearing around the basketball court up the street:
