Teaching Orson to Ski

We wanted to teach Orson how to ski, so I found some used youth skis and boots on ksl classifieds and we went up to Snowbasin ski resort.

We started out slow, teaching how to fall, how to snowplow (we called it a pie as the skis make a pie shape) and then graduated to the bunny hill and rode the chair lift.

By the end of the day he was stopping on his own and making turns. We hope to do more skiing this season. Watch our video of the event.
