A Day on the Slopes

Like so many Coloradans before him, my seven year old son has been learning to ski. After some professional instruction to assure he doesn't pick up any of dad's bad habits, this Saturday was my turn to enjoy this young man's developing skills. A true delight we went and adventured all over the mountain. We enjoyed the powder on the slopes and the snow in our faces continually searching for new challenges. We worked our way through more challenging green terrain and into the further challenges of steeper blues. We spent our time taking in the beauty of the continental divide talking about our interests as we rode the lifts. We endured the falls and the tired legs. We gave out our whoops as we speeded down the slopes. And at the end of the day, the bonds between a boy and his dad were further built as the young man took one more step in growing up.
