Ski school.


Today was Day One of Ski School at Eldora. Grant and his friend, Kate Jones, joined the Eldorables and did an outstanding job-- they braved the cold and most significantly for Grant-- the wind, and they seemed to be getting the hang of it by the end of the two-hour session.
After the lesson I asked Grant: 'What was your favorite part?' He replied: 'The hot cocoa.' I then asked him: 'What was your least favorite part?' He replied, 'The skiing.' Hmmmm.... hopefully his attitude will improve next week. We have four more weeks of this gig. His teacher, Robert, assures me the first day is the hardest and that his ability and mood will change dramatically over the next month. I hope Robert is right.
