Well, the snow is quickly melting around here as it's currently in the middle 70's (what the heck?). We figure that easily next week will be the end of skiing so we wanted to try to get Reed up skiing one more time before Snowbasin closes. We headed up this morning in the very warm and slushy snow. It was a great day for a toddler to ski as it was easy snow, no wind, no precip, no cold temps. Reed did great for his last day. Definitely has improved from the beginning of the season and next year we hope that he can ski off the bigger lift, if not the Gondola. He can stop and turn really well, though he still has the edgy wedgy (the rubber thing on the front to help him with his wedge). I think we'll work on getting that off at the beginning of next season before he graduates to longer and steeper runs.
Anyway, here are a few videos of Reed skiing today. My flip ran out of batteries at the end of the last one, hence the abrupt end. We did two runs, he did great. Fell a few times the second time cause the slushy snow started to build up a little and he would get caught on it. He told me at the end of the second that he was "all done skiing." He ended on a happy and encouraged note so we called it and were pulling out of the parking lot at 10:30 (after some treats and asking again if he wanted to ski anymore). A successful day!
