My youngest will start next season right around the time she turns 3. I've skied more since I had kids than I did before they were born, mostly due to rediscovering night skiing and having a rad little hill right down the road. My wife is one patient ski widow though. I keep reminding her that if the kids get hooked, her winter weekends may be relatively kid-free in a few years. I'm hoping she decides to tag along sometimes though.

I try. Not to mention I ski with a bunch of guys that keep me motivated.

The wife got 5 days in. I wish it was more but she def. wanted to hang back with our son. Getting her out for day 1 was tough. After Sugarbush she wants to put off having a second child until after the upcoming ski season. I love her.
