...and it involves being sprayed by powder as Ben blasts past me on the slopes. He is getting so confident and so much better and just has no fear. None.
He is parallel sking straight down from the top of the mountain, no turns, just straight and fast. He doesn't begin to wedge until he gets to the bottom and needs to slow down to get back on the chairlift. I am doing fast very shallow carving turns at pace and not keeping up. He chooses to go straight but he can do turns and quite happily slaloms through a set of flags (wedging not parallel).
Tonight at night skiing he was going over steep jumps. Not actually jumping much but just flying over them without fear and leaving me far behind.
The photo is of one of the organised activities, junior ski mobiles. The kids had a ball.
Other activities later in the week include a traditional Norwegian meal of Elk stew in a teepee up the mountain where there is absolute silence, ice fishing and snow rafting (coming down a halfpipe in a whitewater raft)
