This was our last day of skiing but our first day of hitting the slopes with the kids.
Now, with two days of Whistler lessons under their belts, plus the Ontario ski 'bump' lessons, the kids were ready to attack the mountain. Don would start off as the leader and I would play clean up: scooping up skis, mitts, kids that got strewn across the mountain by an errant turn or surprise bump. Alex had more than one wipe out that made me go white with fear but after a few tears he would just brush himself off and continue his run. There were a few occasions where Alex yelled at Ainsley for making him crash when he was the one who was following too closely or almost cutting her off.
We spent almost the full day on the mountain, splitting our time between Blackcomb and Whistler. Alex really wanted to see the Inukshuk at the top of Whistler and he felt like we were at the top of the world while we took pictures.
Then, to top off the day, it was back to the pool!
