AZers with Kids??

[ChileMass]

I have 2 and they both started skiing at age 3, at Mighty Ski Ward in Shrewsbury, MA. I am pleased to say both my girls are both very good intermediates and getting better each year.

No kids...just me and Ms. Trailboss

baby ga2ski is due in June. . . first one. Got any good ski-related baby names?

 

[andyzee]

Nada, we need to ski!

I only have one kid, err, shadow that ski's with me nearly 90% of the season. He is bordering on intermediate, but has to lose the snowplow on the steeper stuff.

He is almost as obsessive as I am with snow/skiing, which is scary:-o

Warren did not get his name by chance.

2 daughters. One is just over 2 and the other just over 6 months. LOL. I think getting 10-15 days in now makes me more hardcore than those who get 100 without kids. try skiing at all with 2 kids in diapers and a wife who works weekend night shifts.

fwiw, for me, having kids beats skiing any day, anytime, hands down. Just cant wait to get them started.

Don't want to pick on you but it's more than a baby name (unless you have an alternative as he or she passes into toddler years).

 

[highpeaksdrifter]

I have 3, all avid skiers.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Congratulations!

I have one son, age two.

And just found out yesterday there's another on-the-way!

Pepi

Or name her after your favorite trail ex: Paradise. Although if you go that route remember the kid has to live with the name. I don't think a kid would like to go through life with a name like Nose Dive for example.

Nice thread. I have a 12 year son who rides and 10 year daughter old who skies and rides. Started my son at 5 and daughter at 3 same year.

My kids are doing pretty well too. It is a great pleasure watching them grow
over years.

The ski related name is kinda a joke. Although there are some that my wife and I like.

I hear ya, Pat. Two daughters for me too - 3 years and 3 months. Still got in 20+ days this season which was more than expected. My wife was insanely patient with me this season. It was tough with the newborn, but night skiing became a great option for me to get some turns in. My oldest will start skiing next season so it should be fun. I also agree that balancing parenthood and a ski habit makes you hardcore.
