Mixed bag for my kiddo racing this year. She stepped up into age class racing, and was generally back of the back (not DFL but close). That really disappointed her, as she hasn't quite realized yet that you have to get joy from the activity and not the finish number. She also had a broken arm and missed a month, and that certainly didn't help (her skiing or her confidence).
That said, there were a couple of highlights. First was when we went freesking at Mary Jane (we hardly ever get to ski together). She was able to keep up and ski pretty much everything, bumps, trees, whatever. It was like skiing with a friend, not skiing with a kid I needed to take care of.
And re her ski racing, well, last year at the end of season race party, where the kids get to race their parents, she and I were fairly even when I made tele turns, and she couldn't beat me if I made alpine turns (on my teles). This year, she SMOKED me when I made tele turns (many gates ahead), and when I made alpine turns, she still smoked me, just by a little less (a couple of gates ahead). It wasn't close.
That was clear evidence -- to her and me -- of how much she's improved this year, and how much faster she is, and her race results are only disappointing to her because of the speed/talent of those she's racing against, and not that she's standing still. This was pretty awesome for both of us to see, and it made her day."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

Quiet in here lately….
Youngest did his first multi-pitch climb over the wknd. Winds were nuking for most of the climb and was def character building (for me as well) but he held his composure and crushed it.

Here’s a few photos from the winter from our family trip to Jackson Hole. I love the image of my kid in the tram!

Nice! Looks like she could use a 'head dink.' In other words. She is lifting her head some putting excess pressure on her paddle. Teach her to drop the top of her head to the water. That'll make the roll work in combat.
Strong work!

Logan spent a week at Woodward camp earlier this summer and he got his backflip dialed.

Anyone have experience with taking their kids to Vermont? Looking to head to Stowe/Okemo/Jay Peak over New Years and hoping to get a day or two of ski school for my 7 year old. We've experienced some pretty terrible Epic Resorts ski school programs in this age range recently, so don't want to get burned by another Epic spot going to Stowe without some input.

Got to ride the chairlift with the 7 year old today. Fun times were had.
