Scooters Program - Day 1

We signed up Avery and Ryan for a 3 week ski program at Copper in December.  It started on Dec. 8th.  We saw the weather forecast and knew it was going to be cold ( 0 degrees before the windchill), but the reminders from the ski program were clear - there were no make-ups.  Prior to the first lesson, we stocked up on hand and toe warmers, long underwear, ski socks, etc. so they would be able to stay as warm as possible.  We left our house a little before 6am and it was a little slower due to the weather. We know now why people pay for parking and lockers!  We got the kids off to their lesson which started at 8:30am.  The first thing they learned was how to carry their own skis :)!  We then had breakfast and headed back to the car to grab our stuff (we did consider for a few minutes of not skiing as it was so cold, but that just didn't seem right!).  We did a few runs and took a break for lunch and checked in on the kids, who were doing great.  Then, made it out for a few more runs before it was just too cold to keep going. Which, was too bad as there were no lines and great snow! We picked up the kids at 2pm and made our way back to the car.  They told they loved it and were excited to come back next week - excellent!!  And, they were both out pretty quickly!
