Learn to Ski!

Vail offers this fantastic program for the local schools called Learn to Ski.  We take our students up to Vail for 2 days.  The instructors divide them into groups by ability and off they go!  This means the teachers are left to their own devices on the mountain!  For me this meant getting to ski a day with Niles for FREE!  I didn't get a pass this year, so it was my first day on the slopes in a year and a half.  I thought I was going to be terrible, but I did great!  I got really tired fast, and I am definitely feeling it today, but I only fell three times.  Niles was very patient with me and my slowness.  I got a little aggravated at the cat tracks, which are the bane of my existence.  No one wants to go with me, because I will ride the same run over and over again, just so I don't have to take a cat walk anywhere.  I don't truly dislike much in life, but cat walks are on that list, way above vegetables!  Here are a few pics that we took with epic mix.

It was great to spend a day on the mountain with my hubby and being able to see my students enjoying themselves in a different setting.
