Today we took Bailey skiing for the first time. Jason joined us for the trip up to Bogus Basin. She had her 80 cm skis and boots that were a bit too big (the smallest you can get) and her harness. We lucked out with the weather--it was sunny and not too cold. I stayed at the bottom to video and take pictures, as I am unable to ski with Cookie in my belly. She rode with Daddy up the "Magic Carpet" and skied between his skis. She absolutely loved it! She kept saying, "Let's do that again!" and "I'm doing it!" and "I wanna go fast!" The first few runs she would just relax and lean forward while TJ held the harness. She would also "bounce" and bend her knees like she was bobbing up and down during the run. After the 5th time, she got the hang of the balance and was really going down on her own. They probably did about 10 runs. Way more than we thought she would be up for. Of course she had to get some snow at the top to eat, and held the little snowball in her mitten for more than one run. Afterwards, we went to the lodge for some hot cocoa and lunch. It was a wonderful day!
