{February 28th}
We found a less steep part of the hill and Brian just let him go down by himself, just running next to him, and Everett loved it!
He would giggle each time he would go down and as soon as Brian stopped him at the bottom he would start yelling "again! again!"
When Brian got the top and set him up, Everett would yell at Brian to "let go!"
Once he got it a few times, he was hooked. I think he will definitely be our little daredevil!
We got some really fun video of him going down several times and one we even got him saying "I ski, I ski" while he was going down.
One of the instructors thought he still might be too young for lessons next season but recommended we just get a harness to take him down and control his speed.
We can't wait to get this little dude back up next year.
Braxton also did so great for his 3rd lesson!
I think things finally clicked and he figured out how to stop with a pizza and even learned how to turn. His right turn is stronger and he is more comfortable that direction but he is picking it up fast.
Brian plans on taking him up again soon to a lift/bunny hill so he can go down a green and really start practicing the turns and stopping.
So proud of our new little skier!
We went up to Echo Mountain for Braxton's 3rd and last ski lesson this season and decided to put Everett on skis just to see what he thought.
He refused to wear a hat or helmet but didn't seem to mind the boots or skis at all.
At first, Brian took him up and just held his coat and ran down the hill with him.
It was a little steep and Everett kind of whined and freaked out a little, but I think thats mostly because he didn't know what was going on.
