The next Lindsay Vohn???

Tom was really anxious to get Ellie up to the slopes this year and introduce her to skiing.  We both agreed that the timing needed to be right.  The weather needed to be perfect, not too crowded, and she had to be excited to go.  So after a week of prep, Tom took the day off of work last week and took Ellie skiing. 

She had a BLAST!  She loved it!  It took a little while to get warmed up to it.  In fact, after a couple of runs, she wanted to go home, but Tom convinced her to take a break, and have a couple of snacks, and then they would try it again.  In the end, it was Tom who decided to pack it in for the day, because of his sore back from hunching over all day.
