Whitetail Ski Day Trip

Posted on | January 21, 2008 | 1 Comment

Recapping the Whitetail trip;

I absolutely love the first pic below of Lin falling. Not so much that she’s falling but that she’s enjoying herself as clearly shown with her laughing. While there is a way to go on her technique, that is only expected as it’s only one day of skiing. I was more proud of my student because she eventually learned to get rid of that negative talk such as “I can’t” or “I’ll fall”, etc… As I told her, I didn’t want to hear any of that on my watch. It’s all mental. But I was glad to see she got rid of that talk and now she wants to go back again and again. Hey, maybe we can do Colorado next winter!

A few other things;

  1. We found Estella, The Peruvian Princess. I guess she was taking lessons all day, but I’m glad she enjoyed herself.
  2. It’s Coach Moran from this point forward. Who wears his high school wrestling jacket on the ski slopes? Apparently, Chris does.
  3. Mo is getting very very good for a beginner. When you can jump little hills and not wipe out, then you’ve got a future.
  4. Saw Melissa for 5 minutes in the early day and never saw her again. Too bad. I love seeing her snowboard.
  5. Kristen didn’t kill me for my little ass-slapping incident. There was some junk in that trunk!
  6. And Victor’s GPS is like every other GPS system- unreliable.

Next stop- February Snowshoe. Who’s ready to be my next student?
