Ski Practice

Brody keeps his balance while Barry ran behind him so that Brody would have enough slack and not be held back.

Brody concentrating on his technique (or trying not to fall).

We took turns being his chair lift to the top. He was able to keep his balance going up, too.

I think he was surprised that he came around the turn without falling? Or he's surprised that he's going fast.

80cm, his first set of skis :) Bindings as far as they can adjust to fit his big hooves.

Brody had his first ski weekend up in Ely over Thanksgiving. There was fresh powder in the beginning and by the last day it was nice and flat. He's good at "french fries", but there was a little too much powder and it wasn't quite fast enough to use the "pizza" technique. Turning and stopping lessons to come later:) Now that he's completely comfortable in the skis and boots, we're hoping that he'll have a blast in Colorado skiing later this winter. He didn't care much about falling either, so I'm hoping that he'll be a trooper in learning.
