V (Violetta) Status report. We had pretty much given up hope that she will ski. She's still on crutches and not looking good, until today :)

Yesterday I convinced her to take a walk with me. Told her to try walking with one crutch and just holding on to my arm in case she needed support. We covered 2 blocks in about an hour, but she overcame a major hurdle by putting weight on her foot.

Today I went skiing to Hunter, came home expecting to take her for another walk. I asked her if she wanted to go, she said a bit later. Ok, later I ask, she says yes. I ask when, she says "now". I lookup, she's walking towards me with out crutches! Lil beotch, kept her mouth shut and suprised me! Next she told me to start getting her skis ready :) She's got a ways to go, but making progress in leaps and bounds, so I would be suprised if she doesn't get some turns in :) while we're in Utah!



I knew she could do it!!! GREAT news!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO go beotch!! :) and I mean that in the best sense!! Utah here we come!!

Okay, I just got back from my week at Alta & Snowbird and all I can say is ...

You are going to be sporting some serious smiles out there.
:)

Just remember to ignore the lack of snow in Salt Lake City. It's up in the canyons, oh, yes. Up on top of the Wildcat lift I saw a stake reading 7-1/2 feet of snowpack.

Bags are packed, heading to BDL first thing to hopefully get on standby on the first flight out before the storm really hits.
