Ski bunnies are not born, they are made. Yesterday, I witnessed as my island girl transformed into a ski bunny.
A cautious
ski bunny, this one.
Desiree
and I drove up to Great Divide Ski Area at midday for her first ever ski
lessons. The weather could not have been
better at our near 6000-foot elevation.
We were blessed with warmish temperatures and generous sunshine on the
mountain. Better yet, Desiree’s
instructor, Mike, connected well with Desiree and displayed a perfect mix of
patience and firmness of instruction.
After
Desiree snow-plowed down “the back yard” for something over an hour, Mike took
her (accompanied by me) for two runs on the Mountain Meadow chairlift.
Desiree
held steady on the ski slopes.
Impressively enough, she completed the last run without falling.
No
small feat, that.
