Ski School Graduation

Stevie Kate and Jake did a six-week ski school program at Deer Valley.  They both loved it!  Which is an accomplishment since Stevie had not liked ski school before.  The last lesson she had before this program...ended in the instructor carrying her down the mountain kicking and screaming.  Jake didn't love ski school at 3 years old either.  And even though I teach 3 year olds how to ski all the time...I really don't recommend ski school until 4 and older.  It is kind of a gamble...but maybe it is just my kids.

Anyway...Stevie's instructor was Kate.  She was so sweet and drew pictures for Stevie and brought her accessories to wear every week. 





Jake had Charlie and learned a lot about carving, hockey stops, side slipping and going through the trees.  Apparently there were some very rowdy boys in Jake's class that couldn't take direction very well so that made it interesting for everyone. 



The graduation parade was a beautiful sunny day and Grandpa D came to watch too.  Having Grandpa there was really fun for Kelly :-) 


Jake graduated from Advanced Beginner to Intermediate and Stevie graduated from Beginner to Advanced Beginner.  Great job!  Here is a link to the video we took if you want to watch.
