The last and the first time I skied was in 1993 when I was staying at my aunt’s place in Englewood, N.J If I’m not mistaking, we went to Pocono for a day or 2 . I don’t even recall it all well.( Yoonhee, Do you remember?) But I remember myself being quite brave and kept getting on the lift and would come down (quite fast) thinking I would break my neck in any second. And that was it.
But this time, I took $15 group lesson for the beginners and I did graduate it in a half of the time it should have taken leaving good 7 of 9 year old kids behind. Feeling very much proud, I started skiing today and did not break anything and Yes as you can see I did gone up on the lift again! Thank you Tamara for all the good tips you gave me! The view of the ski slopes and the mountains from the lift was breath-taking!
Believe me I look so much better parked here than while I’m skiing. hahahahahaha
But the real highlight was Gael’s First Snow boarding! He was beaming the whole time from renting out his snow board, then putting the shoes on, then getting out there. Gael felt bit nervous that he hurried through his tuna sandwiches Tamara made.
Gael with David, the instructor and holding on to the tow lift. Gael said, many times, ” It was the best thing that I ever did in my whole life.” or ” Dad, can you please call me as a Snow boarder?” haha. Now, watch Gael snow boarding!
I think there will be much more to come.
