Ski Day

Yesterday I stood on the ski slopes at Brighton in jeans and a sweatshirt.  It was a balmy 46 degrees in the mountains.  I took Jonathan and Miles up to ski.  Jonathan had a great half day skiing whatever runs he wanted to... since he was skiing solo, he didn't have to take turns choosing runs/lifts, etc.  I put Miles in ski school.  He loved every minute of it.  He thought the chair lift was awesome.

He started the day with ski clips/buckles...

but by the end of his lesson, he officially graduated to "clipless".

Miles loves to go fast; he brakes at the last minute (usually not until he's tailgated the kid in front of him and Miles' skis are inside the other kid's wedge).  At the end of his lesson, I asked Miles if he was done skiing and wanted to go in the lodge and play iPod, or if he wanted to ride the "magic carpet" and ski some more.  He was not done skiing.  So together we rode up the magic carpet, and down the mini-hill he skied while I ran down the hill (purse in hand) chasing him.  He had so much fun that he asked if he can go to "ski class" again on Monday.  Since there's no school tomorrow, that's a real possibility!
