Wyatt's 1st Ski Lesson

WARNING: Way too many pictures posted below by over enthusiastic mother!

Wyatt went to June Mountain for his first ski lesson. He took a group lesson and then took a run with his dad.

Getting ready to head up the chair to the June Mountain Chalet.

After getting used to his skies and walking up the carpet Wyatt is ready to take his first run.

The finish! Look at that smile.




Moving onto the bigger hill. This is the "magic carpet". It is a moving walk way that takes the kids up the hill. Let me just say that they did not have these when I was learning to ski.


Going down the big hill!

(Sorry, the next two pictures are out of order.)

Still has a smile on his face.





Going down.






Three generations of skiers!






All together, showing Wyatt what to do.

Skiing down!



It was a very fun day!! Wyatt did great and enjoyed learning to ski. The hardest part was learning how to wedge to slow down. Wyatt didn't want to slow down. He wanted to go straight and fast.

  4. I love the photo with 3 generations of skiers! Great memories for all 3!!! As for the "over enthusiastic mother's" photo taking...please keep it up! It is so much fun to see! (I love how you rode up the lift ahead of them and caught Wyatt's first chair lift run! Nice work Cortney!)
