Any cool pictures from skiing?
It was Djunior's first real ski vacation, so I'm afraid it's not really "cool" yet because pushing him around on sleds and toddler skis was the priority. But it's cute!
Looks like fun! Must be nice to have snow. The places here can't even make fake snow yet.
Yeah, it was great!
We also don't have snow yet at the elevations ski resorts in your neck of the woods reach. We had to go well above 2000 m for this
Yes, very cute! I'm sure that Djunior loved it! Both of my kids started as skiers but moved to snowboarding which is was more popular among their peers as they aged.
I think I might have grown up in roughly the same time as your kids. Both my sister and I also started it learning skiing, and switched to snowboards in our teens like our peers. For some reason, we both switched back to skis at some point.
My kids (twins) are in their early thirties. Neither has returned to skiing. I thought my daughter might, but she has decided to take the winter off and be a snowboard bum in Utah, California, and New Mexico this year (2024). My son is a {snow,skate,skim,surf,wake}boarder with plans to snowboard in the Alps in the next month. Happy New Year! (btw).
Ah, that sounds awesome! Happy new year to you too!
