|  Stratton 4/5/08 Conditions – Foggy/icy at the summit, perfect spring corn at the bottom. This was my first trip to Stratton in almost 20 years. The only reason we went there was because we won free lift tickets on Stratton’s website. Didn’t plan on doing any hard skiing. This was basically a family day skiing with the kids. We started out taking the gondola to the summit. There was a dense fog and large patches of solid boiler plate all over the place. I made a few runs with my 3 y/o son using the edgie wedgies and a harness. After lunch we made our way over to the learning area which is on the lower half of the mountain. The sun came out and the snow was very soft. I decided to make my son take a leap of faith and ski with out the harness. He was very reluctant but I took the harness off and gave him a push. He fell a bunch of times but he really did a great job. I had to keep reminding him to watch where he was going. He was so proud of himself he was watching people on the lift overhead to see if they were watching him. It was a great note to end the season on. |

| haha how cool would a Jr sundown freestyle team be. Is it next winter yet? I can't wait to get all the kids together next year. Should be a blast!!!! When the time comes we can take them up to the water ramps in Lake Placid. That would be a great excuse for me to finally get on the water ramps.  In 4 years we will have to hang up the skis when the kids are running circles around us. Last edited by downhill04; Apr 8, 2008 at 10:41 AM. |
