Well we have always planned easy low angle trips. Great intentions but occasionally you find yourself over your head. Well on one particular day of skiing Travis took quite a spill and damaged his rear end in his attempt to save Carina from any danger.
She was not physically harmed but she defiantly decided that this skiing in the backpack was not for her. The wee when going down the hill quickly become tears of fear. We were not deterred and so Travis rigged a sled which had so much potential to work out...but unfortunately it is to unstable on the downhill portion. Travis ended up towing us both out on our last trip because I rode in the sled to add some stability. WOW I wish we had a picture of that. We were sure that we had ruined skiing for Carina for good.
So this last weekend Travis and I went to the local ski shop to smell the new skis. Carina quickly went over to the telegear and found herself some boots and skis and pronounced that she was going to ski by herself this year. WHEW WHO a skier is born!

I love it! She is amazing! So glad I get to "read" you. Love, megan
When you said skiing, the first thing that came to mind was downhill skiing because that is what I do. I was shocked, then I realized from pictures that you meant X-country skiing, then everything made sense. Good luck and have fun skiing with the little one this winter.
YES! PINK SKIS! I knew my time with her was not in vain. Looking forward to more posts you clever witty girl you!
how fun! get 'em started young before the fear sets in (i don't ski for exactly that reason...trying to convince a worry-wort 18 year old who paid attention during the "gravity" lecture in high school physics that plunging yourself headlong down a slick, steep mountain is a fun thing to do just doesn't work). so here's to blissful, ignorant, toddler fun!!
