Merry Christmas

Rebecca - day 1

Out at the local ski area on Saturday for the first time this season. Becky has decided that she also wants to snowboard this year leaving Andy the only skier. As her personal instructor I decided to skip the bunny hills and get her straight on a lift up to a gentle hill - turned out to be a good move as sh was determined to like it and took to it like a duck to water. As someone who was rubbish at snowboarding for the first several attempts I felt a mixture of irritation and fatherly pride. By the end of the morning Becky was coming down the slope herself while Dan and I came down via the freestyle area (not doing anything very exciting at this stage of the season though).
