Best Skiing in Reverse Gear

Alison's 10 week stint with the Bow Valley Kids ended on Sunday. Her instructor, Ossi, awarded her a certificate for the "best skiing in reverse gear," in honour of her ability to ski backwards all the way down the T-bar hill. And yes, the backwards skiing was intentional.

There was a big pot-luck lunch celebration and a movie with coverage of the kids in the group skiing. Alison had a great time skiing with her group, and was slightly sad for it all to end. But now she gets to ski with Mom and Dad again. Oh boy!

Here she is with her group:

Alison is still wearing her googles. Ossi is the grown-up, although from other pictures we can tell he's really a kid at heart.
