Skiing with kids is stressful and not always fun when they're beginning. Not sure if you'll want to do it again but it's worth it. This will be our 4th ski trip with the kids and I'm really looking forward to skiing with them now they can do greens and easy blues on their own.
We just got home from an awesome weekend in Santa Fe.
We started our kids at 3 or 4 years old, and made sure to go at least one time per year. My youngest is 8 now, and he's right there with me ability wise. He can blast down ungroomed blues pretty easily. I would follow him for the most part, but occasionally I'd see an opportunity and fly past him. I'd look back, expecting him to be 50-100 yard behind me, and if he wasn't right on my heels, he was already back beside me!
It took a lot of work the first 2-3 years. Having to carry your skis, their skis, and sometimes even carry them, but it's finally paying off. Words don't describe how proud I am. I thanked God out loud for my family several times this weekend.
