I could write a great deal about it. Our first plane got canceled so we started a day late. The first day we went to the ski area with more professional instructors and I struggled. The slopes were a bit more vertical than I remembered Colorado being. My son rankled at the idea of professional instruction. He would have pouted every time I told him anything, so it was not negotiable. I elected for a semi private. They were having fun by the end of the lesson. I was suffereing in boots designed by Marquis de Sade. I quit early and they kept doing the same run over and over. I traded the boots in for some that were less uncomfortable. The next day started well, but my daughter ran away on a steep part of a green slope. She fell into some fresh powder. It was damp enough it took two of us 15 minutes to get both her skis back on her. She vowed she would never ski again. My son was trying to ski fast. He avoided traversing. After getting a couple scares he started traversing. After lunch my daughter came back out. She thuroughly enjoyed a little tougher green slope. My son fell off a poma lift about ten times and we baled onto a short black slope he cried about it then, but later bragged about it. As we ended the two days of skiing, they both asked when they could go again. This means that I will get to ski again next year. That is a good thing. Thanks for asking.
