Report: A fun last day at Gunstock and a very special one at that. My son managed (although he did take a small face plant) made it up on the ramrod lift today for the first time! He hasn't been out all season, just do to being busy and crappy weather and bad timing. But I figured, hey it's April, there is pond skimming and corn to be harvested. Didn't get up to the summit today, but hell it was good enough to have him barrel down smith like a 7 year old pro! Ended up only doing 4 runs with the little guy, but he LOVES skiing now and cannot wait to get back on the snow soon. Here are some photos:

Last run down the "mighty big super expert trail" as he called it!

That last picture just makes it worth it all. It doesn't get much better than that!

Next week back to Mount Snow (I think) and then Wildcat the week after

Great stuff. No better feeling in this sport than watching your kid get hooked and knowing all the good times you'll have ahead together.

Yeah I was so excited for him that I cannot wait to get him back out there next December. It was really a milestone for him (and me too!)
