11. 12/27 Crotched - shortest day of the season today. 5 runs off the Magic Carpet. But a landmark day. Skied with my 21 month old son between my legs for his first time.

Thanks. Plan is just to go with the toy skis and take runs with him between my legs on a handful of warm days like today this season so he gets used to gliding and having skis on his feet. I doubt he'd be able to remain upright in just his snow boots. Turns 2 the end of March. Next year I'll get him in some real ski boots for more support and see if we can get him going without me holding him up.

So far, so good. He seemed to like it more and more the faster we got going.

My Season pass has already paid for itself! The best early season conditions I have seen in years. Hoping the momentum continues after this thaw.

We have 4 boys and they are pretty much all grown up! Skiing with them since they were very little has been one of the most satisfying things to do.

DHS - make the most of it and enjoy every second. Before you know it they are grown up and on their own. Lucky for me they visit and still ski.

12/10 - Gore
12/17 - Gore
12/24 - Labrador Mountain

Hoping to add at least 2 more to this tally this weekend. Wish I had gotten to partake in the VT early conditions that were so awesome but hoping to make up for it when things get good again moving forward.
