Competition amoung Brothers

Thanksgiving weekend brought me four young lads from Arkansas. They wanted to ski and mom signed 'em up for four days of lessons. Nick, Blake, Nate, and Brad - brothers they are - showed up with plenty of enthusiasm. All are fairly athletic with a background in Tae Kwon Do. We started off at Mt. Bueler on the magic carpet. Once they picked up the fundamentals, off we went to Explore Peak 8 and Peak 9!



It was really fun to watch the competition between the brothers - both in the need for speed and on technique. As we progressed in our learning adventure, the first teen would 'get it' and start showing off for the others! All in good fun. Overall, a very good start to the ski season!

Peanut Butter

Rule number three in my class. IF anyone falls down, we yell, "PEANUT BUTTER" and stop, help that person get back on their feet and ski on! Snow can be sticky like peanut butter...

Bombers Week 6

Can you believe this weather? Sunny and warm - not a cloud in sight. We have ramped up the pace for bombers this week with some hard core black runs on Mustang and Appaloosa on the south side of Peak 10. We also hit the NASTAR race course with several kids winning silver and gold medals. The day finished off exploring terrain off 6 chair.



Having Fun in the Sun!

Bombers Week 2

Another wonderful day last Saturday at Breckenridge! We explored new terrain on Peak 9 in the morning while continuing to practice our body movements. We added an understanding of 'tipping' our skis, primarily using our legs and ski boots to tip the skis on edge. We further explored differing amounts of tipping and what that does to our turns: small, smedium, medium, and large!
