Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort & Amusement Park

Mommy and Daddy wanted to try skiing again.  it was a great experience last year, even though we did more falling than actual skiing.  It was great last year to learn the basics of skiing and this year the plan was to refine those skills.

Daddy only wanted to practice on the ski school slope, which is only about 5' vertical drop, but Mommy had other plans.  After the 3rd or 4th time on the ski school slope, the basics came back.  Both Mommy and Daddy were doing quite well, when Mommy tries to convince Daddy to try the ski lift and ski an actual slope.  Despite Daddy's obvious fear, he agrees, reluctantly!!  Graduating to an actual slope felt good... until Mommy and Daddy ate snow!!! The second try resulted in the same result, but further down the slope! Third time was the cliche charm, as both Mommy and Daddy made it down the slope, in control, and without a fall!!! Accomplishment never felt so good.  Unbelieveable the powers of the mind and body.  Only 1 day of learning, over a year ago, and the 2nd day we were skiing!!
