Liam downhill skiing

Liam had his first true downhill experience on Sunday. We have had him on his downhill skis a couple of times now generally just trekking him up small hills and letting him slide down. Sunday, however, we took him on the chairlift and let him ski down the hill with the help of the Ski Leash. He did amazingly well. He loved riding on the lift. I couldn't get over how natural being on skis was for him. The skis became an extension of his body and his was able to figure out the balance necessary to ski without falling. I had to do very little with the leash except for periodically use it to guide a turn or to help him stand up when he did fall. He is quite the little athlete and I love it. I so look forward to sharing skiing with him in years to come, just as Mom and Dad did with us.
