This weekend Eleanor and Henry took a trip up to Wisconsin to get some skiing in. We had some cooperative weather, and although there was no snow on the ground anywhere the entire drive up to the mountain, the mountain itself had good conditions. Eleanor settled right in, and really enjoyed her first few runs. Henry had a bit of a struggle, and spent a lot of the morning sitting down and asking to walk down the run instead of ski :( After a refreshing lunch of hot dogs, both kids hit the runs again and Henry found his form. By the end of the day we completed two runs with no stopping, and he wanted to keep doing more. Eleanor had one scary moment when she didn’t get off the chair lift in time, and ended up rounding the corner and heading back down. Her legs weren’t long enough to trigger the auto stop mechanism, and she ended up jumping for it before the lift operator could shut it down. Eleanor didn’t seem particularly phased by the whole event, but we had a talk with her about not jumping off in the future :)
