Nice!

 

[KingM]

That's cool. Pretty darn good for six. She's better than my seven year old twins.

 

[SkiDork]

Thanks.

She's actually not allowed to race yet. VARA rules say she must be 7.

So Killington Ski Club had a special race just for their kids so they could at least experience it (the young-uns)

Kudos to K Ski Club for that....

Cool! Both of your kids are really good skiers (as I saw from skiing with them and your wife at Hunter). Are you getting close to skiing again yet?

MRI is wednesday. I'll know more by next weekend.

Knee feels pretty good to walk on, almost no limp.

Thats great.. Congrats to you and your daughter.

Tell your daughter that Nassau County is proud of her!:flag:

Sweet, Dork. She was behind Andy, Vee and me on the Snowdon Quad last time I was up but I didn't get to see her turns afterwards. Is that Bunny Buster?

Great. Good luck.

She looks great, Dork. Man, just when I'm thinking that my 6 year old is starting to get it....

I showed the video to her and said, "There, you see? There's a six-year-old girl who skis parallel. You can too!" Let's see if that helps motivate her a little. :wink:

Good to hear about your recovery. I took the ride in the sled on Sunday and am completely done for the season. Get back out there so I can live vicariously through you!

I'll try. Gonna be up at Okemo on Saturday for a B mogul competition that my 9 year old son is entered in... I'll be wearing snowshoes to view it...

Yes, thats Bunny. She actually did all the Snowdon trees on Sunday for the first time - Low Rider, Patsies and Jeopardy... She really liked it too...

I took my kids up to Castlerock for the first time 2 weeks ago. They did great. Watching them succeed feels better than doing it yourself doesn't it? Your kid has great form. And good luck with the knee.

 

[Greg]

Wow. Your boy rocks the bumps! And a twister to boot. Nice!

Getting closer to getting my 4 year old to actually try the chair lift... :lol: Today was a good day though as she instinctively bent her knees, put her hands and head up and wedged to a stop.
