Carson is a great skier! He was a wonderful traveller and well behaved roommate. We are so proud of him. Our trip to Winter Park went better than expected. Carson skied all day, each day. And, amazingly improved from one day to the next. He was cruisin down blues before we left. In his words, "I'm smokin'!" Granted, he is not the fastest kid on the mountain, which is fine with me. He is fairly cautious and only tested the limits a couple of times. Jeremy and I were left scared and screaming behind him. Luckily there were only a few major wipe outs, leaving him in tears and declaring he couldn't ski.
The first afternoon was the roughest. When we started down the first green after the bunny slopes, he threw a major fit. I was really frustrated and promised day care the next day. He got it together and was a different kid the rest of the trip. It was amazing to see his improvement from one day to the next. Just sleeping made him better, I think. Before long he will be skiing circles around me. The most memorable part of the trip for me was listening to him jabber and sing as he skied. He talked nonstop to himself. I would hear him say, "I gotta keep skiin' I gotta keep goin'. Let's get skiin'." It was almost sing-song like-SO funny!
Below are some of my favorite pictures from the trip. I included a clip from the Day #1 and Day #3 so you can see him in action.
