I was a lousy dad because I have never owned a video camera, and only the last 2 years have I owned a phone capable of taking video. But I do have increadible memories of my sons and I skiing and
g when they were little. I will never forget the first time I took Andrew on an intermeadiate slope - one of the long cruiser runs at Winter park. Well he did not have the speed controll down, flew straight down the mountian and hit the rope at the bottom of the run, it caught him right across the chest and he did a complete back flip landing on his face in the soft snow on the other side of the rope. I was very glad there was no cross slope traffic and he did not hit a tree or lift pole. he was maybe 4.Since they started playing travel hockey none of us have skied more than 1-2 times over the last 10 years. I actually took up snow
g because I get tired of waiting for slow skiers in my party. I have worn a helmet ever since I started my kids skiing, riding bikes, or playing hockey.And on that note - the helmet one that is. The rule of thumb for hockey helmets is replace them every 4 - 5 seasons. (for most competitive players this is after 2- 2.5 years) This is because of the sweat causing the pads to become hard. I do not know what the rule is for ski helmets because you probably do not sweat as much, but I would replace it every few years if I wore it more than 2-3 days a year.
Great videos! Thanks for shareing.
