David loved skiing immediately although his teacher says he needs to practice more turns instead of going straight down the mountain. Julia was lukewarm after the first day but happy after day 2. I skied with both kids as our last runs of the vacation and they could both easily manage the bunny hill.
Brian was less sure about this sport. He had trouble "making the pizza" with his skis after the first day but could navigate the slalom poles in ski school after the second day.
I loved the little magic carpet for the little beginner kids. This is so much easier than the rope tow of our youth.
I failed to mention in the earlier blog that when Daphne and I tried to ride up a t-bar lift the very first morning, I tried to sit (which you shouldn't do on a t-bar) and ended up falling on top of Daphne. She started laughing and the Austrian lift operator shut down the lift and started yelling at us. "Stand, don't sit! Stand, don't sit!" It only made Daphne laugh harder.
