|
This is my first time to ski with kids and I eventually gave up, sat in lobby chatting with friends the rest of the day. But I was not as lazy as other adults in our group. I went out several times to take photo and video. Here is a shot clip of the video:

Oh Nan!  What a great time you all must have had!
I have to admit that I am not crazy about cold weather, 
but even so, that looks like a ton of fun!
I've never tried snow skiing -
I used to water ski,
 but I haven't done that in a great many years, either.

What a brilliant video Nan. I thoroughly enjoyed it and envy you your ability in making it. I am a total coward and could never see myself ever trying to ski but I did enjoy watching everyone having so much fun.

I used to love to ski when I was younger but haven't gone for years. Wonder if I can still do it?

Lovely video, Nan! Looks like a good day out. It takes some time to get the hang of it. I've tried, and didn't like it much. We pack the rucksack with cocoa, oranges and chocolate and go cross country.

I love the video...Youtube is so much fun. I'm a snowmobiler, ice skater, and cross country skier, but never got into snow skiing. The first time I tried it, I kept slipping on the tow rope on the way up, and everyone behind me started yelling...that was my first and last attempt at snow skiing.
