I like your picture bro!

Age 16 off the High Traverse at Alta last month. I'm barely faster than him now. Apparently my "reckless" parenting from the 1st pic hasn't scarred him too badly, as he's pretty stoked on skiing.

Had our first and only race day today due to Covid. 4 GS runs. My dude got 4 firsts in his age group and was top 5 among all age groups for every race! Super proud dad!

I'm mostly stoked that my kid wants to ski as much as I do, this year.

She’s practicing for her first Nordic race this Sunday.

U 10 beat all the 12’s as well...sister is a U12 who crashed hard on her first run and had it dialed back a bit.

My kid placed second at the Winter Park Junior IFSA regional comp in the 12-14 age division on Friday!

A little U12 girl crosspost from the midwest thread. My girl didn't win a race this year but we gave em a scare with her effort Saturday.

My kiddo had her first race of the season today, I don't know how she did yet as far as time or placement (assume I'll find out soon).

I will say that this was the first race of hers (this is her 3rd year) where she didn't just look like a kid skiing through gates, today she looked like a kid ski racer, racing (and she felt that too). If that makes sense. So in my book, she won today. Psyched for her!

**montanaskier** · 02-28-2021, 09:56 PM

Hell yeah Danno!

Awesome Danno! So cool.

**ddsnake** · 03-01-2021, 01:27 AM

My 7yr old and I got 47'000 and 26 lifts today. Very proud of him for ripping hard and fast, no stopping, (get off lift, no stopping until we ski back on) in white out flat light conditions. My 7yr old has over 620,000 vert this yr..... and we will keep going.

That’s a shit load of vert! Meanwhile, I have to bribe my 9 yr old to do bookends with me.

A little tip grab attempt here.
