We managed a couple ski days in the winter. Mark took Luke once and I took the kids another time for homeschool ski days where the rates are greatly discounted. We pay $25 for the day, the standard rate is $68. Skiing really is a rich mans sport. The average skiier has a coat of North Face or Spyder , then add on some name brand snow pants, Under Armour or Oakley ski goggles, Columbia or Dakine gloves, some wear fancy helmets . It's all about the brand and it all adds up. I've tried not to put a lot of emphasis on name brands with the kids, so they dont have to have the expensive trending name brands sprawled across their gear. In fact Jake pulled out his "Shucks" stocking cap from my old ski bag. It's probably as old as I am.
The kids are getting pretty good on their skiis. I am still ahead of them, but it wont be long and they will pass me up. Jayden was the funniest. It has been awhile since she has skied and she was a little more like a beginner. We all had so much fun and lots of laughs. Jayden and Jake liked to elbow and shove each other a lot, mostly for fun. It was also entertaining to watch other skiiers. I had never seen so many out of control people and wrecks!
