Ski Princess

Sunday, January 20, 2008
Its a BANNER day in our household---Chloe learns to ski. Matt, Chloe and I went to the local ski shop and rented Chloe some skis for the season and purchased her the thermals, harness, helmet and ski gloves. Chloe loved the entire outfit and wore it most of Saturday evening (she even wore it to eat dinner). Sunday we all donned our ski attire at a local ski park run by the county. Its a small operation but was a fantastic place to teach a 3.5 year old how to ski. Matt talked with Chloe about "french fry" skis vs. "pizza slice" skis. We let Chloe get her balance on the skis and Matt did several magic carpet/bunny slope runs with Chloe.


Chloe had great fun and that was the biggest concern. We wanted to keep skiing fun. We did have one meltdown as the snow-making machines blew snow in her eyes and made her goggles scratchy (also is well-past nap time). But, after a break with snacks and chocolate milk, Chloe hit the slope one more time.
