Spring?

We're just back from another practice. When we left this afternoon for the slopes, it was almost 75* here, nice and sunny. The good news is that it was only 60* at Massanutten and overcast; still warm but better down there. Sweet Pea said that it was most definitely spring skiing, slushy and slow. She still had a good night of practice - they worked on 360 Alley Oops and she did awesome and landed them all. Her coach told me that she's really learning about getting "soft legs" under her and getting her landings much better. Always a good thing to perfect!

I think she'll be ready for a short break soon, she's been doing lots of boarding plus since it was so nice yesterday she rode her horse. She's getting a little tired from all the go-go-go and her legs were really tired tonight. Besides all the regular slope stuff they did, one of the lifts was down and they ended up walking partway up the slopes. She said that they were at the top later and went partway down and walked back up. Sounds like lots of uphill walking tonight!

She's still really enjoying snowboarding. I think she's learning lots from the coaches, they're giving her good guidance from what I can tell. She gets a little tired of the boys and their gossip but she puts up with it, especially when she can beat them on the slope!
