Hitting the Slopes

Today was our first skiing day of the season.  It has been a strange winter with very little snow and mild temperatures, so skiing hasn't been on our minds that much.  But we wanted something to do for the long weekend, so we went up to Snowbird today.  Our friends at Wasatch Adaptive Sports had things set up for Alex and McKay to ski, as usual.  They've been taking Alex and McKay skiing for 10 years, but every year they are a little bit bigger and we have to figure out how to get them secured in their bi-skis.  The tricky part is to help them hold up their heads while they are skiing, but they managed that fairly well today.  Anyway, it was a beautiful day for skiing.  It was so warm that we didn't need hats or gloves, and the slopes weren't too crowded.  I'm not a very good skier, but because of taking Abby, Alex, and McKay skiing I'm starting to feel like I can do okay.  It's a lot of work to get all of us up there to go skiing, but seeing the big smiles on McKay's face as he goes down the hill makes it all worthwhile.  We're planning to go several more times this winter.
