Teaching my kid to ski

The time has come that I start to teach my kids to ski.  I grew up on the slopes in Utah and spend a lot of time skiing as a child, a teenager and an adult. I use to work in Park City and skied a ton, worked a lot of night shifts and tried to take come classes for school.  Since the resorts here in WA have gotten quite a bit of snow this year, we decided to head up and take advantage.

We went up to Crystal Mountain, up by Mt. Rainier National Park and had a great day there. This was T's first time on skis and he did really well.  We picked up some rentals from Sports Authority and I dusted my skis off since they had been sitting int he garage for the past 3 years!  We were up at the mountain by 10 am, took the shuttle up to the lift and spent the next 6 hours skiing!  T did really well overall after about 20+ runs on the bunny hill.  I don't know how great of a teacher I am, but he seems to be picking it up and we are planning to go up again.  It feels good to have your kid enjoy something that you enjoy so much.  I hope this is the beginning of a great realtionship with skiing!
