We’ve had great ski and sled snow for a week now. Last weekend there were 100 kids plus parents jammed on the local steep hill. It’s getting colder and windier now but the hill still had kids–including ours—this afternoon.
My brother devised a sled made of old downhill skis bolted to a plastic torpedo—easily the fastest on the hill. Comfy and stable, too. Pic soon.
The kids are getting steadier on xc yard skis now, too. I can see the glide-love coming on. They act leery of it at first but after awhile I see a little hop come in, a little glide, then they start trying to milk the glide. More glide more good. Now the balance… They’re working on it. Not listening to dad much…it’s too personal for that.
