Its all Downhill




Jon can bite off more than he can chew sometimes.. and on Friday Jan. 2nd, he decided he would take 4 kids skiing. Not just any 4, but 3 inexperienced skiiers(Syd, Stock & Lucy) and 1 first timer(Nic). Well he does want them to have the great memories. So they went to Alta to the tow rope, and the outcome was this in a nut shell. Syd took the hill a few times and looking good, Stockton I think went down once and ended up skiing into the ski shack more then anything, Lucy tried at least once down the hill, but wanted to put in very little effort on her part and finally Nic went down once and spent the better part of the time eating snowballs. So with that Jon decided it was getting late and the kids were getting cold, so they attempted the tow rope between the runs, here Jon decided Syd needed to help with the other children and put Nic between her skiis, needless to say it did not go well, Nic crossed his skiis and then turned around and took him and Syd out in one swoop. Syd's version is better, but it took help from others to get them up. Syd then attempted Lucy and Stock, but again inexperience overruled. I do have to say they all came back happy, but only Syd wanted to go again the next day, the others had had their fill. Heres to Jon.. may he be brave and attempt more good memories.
