Tyler Skiing at Eldora

Tyler had the day off from school for MLK so Alan took Tyler to Eldora for a ski lesson.  We signed him up for the yellow class, but when the report card came back it looked more like he was in the red class !!

Skiing lessons are quite expensive, around $120, and when I got the report card back I saw that he could

1. Know which skis are his
2. Walk around on his skies
3. Get up by himself
4. Make a wedge.

We didn't see ticks for

1. Turn using a wedge
2. Stop by turning
3. Stop by using a wedge
4. Ride surface lifts.

Which is all quite strange, as when I saw him he could at least stop using a wedge, ride the surface lift, and was doing some of the wedge turns !!

All in all, I did see some skiing from Tyler..

These Skis are heavy !!

Practicing my turns

Riding the magic carpet

On the big slope

Yes I can ski !!
























































































Tyler managed to last all day skiing and seems to enjoy it, so we will continue to work on his skiing.  There was 5 inches of snowfall while we were there so the journey home was pretty tough and Tyler slept through most of it.
