Ski Day 6: Kind of an emotional day in a skier sorta way. Definitely wanted to get out and make the most of it.
Crowd was light, but every one who was there was in line early. The first 30 gondi cars were full...
Foxlair First
One of the new Ratnik setups on Showcase
Sleighride
Showcase
View towards Headwaters
Cloud
The BIG MOUND on Hawkeye
Topridge
Zelda
OK sorry but here comes some proud father stuff:
One thing that happened, that I hadn't seen before. Neve stomped her way into her bindings without help...
No goggles, no mittens, lock and load.
I figured that by the time Neve was nine or ten, she'd be beating me down the hill. But today - at age five - on the icy parts of Quicksilver, she beat both Zelda and I. She was carving on ice. We were blown away.
The other thing that happened ... If you haven't skied Gore - Foxlair is a blue rated trail with a borderline black section at the bottom that comes into Sunway, Gore's classic green trail. As you ski past it from below, it does look pretty steep. Neve looks up at it and says MOMMY have YOU DONE THAT? Can I do it?
And then later the classic: "I like the ice because it's faster!"
