Do you like the new access into the park?

We had talked about it since last fall but it took us a while to be convinced that access to the park from Abby's Alley would work........but it has been created.......and used..........a lot.........and seems to be working just fine.
Late Nite this Saturday night from 9:30 pm to 1:00 am............don't miss it!
Here are a couple recent pics of two small ones skiing at Seven Oaks...........okay, they are more grandchildren......... :)


these were taken weekend before last after another fresh powder snowfall.........


we all start with the snowplow.....

last Saturday I had the opportunity to meet a young lady that was watching her small daughter while the rest of her family spent the day on the snow. When asked she said she had tried to ski once some years ago but didn't get along too well. I invited her to take a lesson for 30 minutes from this old guy.....I would furnish the lift ticket, equipment and lesson.......if she would allow me to teach her...and I didn't plan on putting skis on myself. To make a 30 minute story short........we got her fitted and then the lesson began.......and within about 30 minutes she was implementing the snowplow to slow down, to stop and to turn both right and left.....yeah.....another one has learned the sport for life and will be able to participate with the whole family. That is one of the BEST things about skiing........participate as an entire family.....not on the bleachers or in a lawn chair but on the snow all doing the same thing......winter is great.

enjoy winter........
