Mastering Marshmallow - Part 2

My 5 ski lessons are complete and yesterday (day 3 of my 12 day pass) Dan & I enjoyed a beautiful day on the mountain. Dan has been 'mentoring' me on the finer points of Intermediate (blue square) slopes and has given me a grand tour of Mt. Bachelor. We considered going to the summit yesterday but decided to save that for next time.
Dan has been great about challenging me to tackle steeper & steeper runs so that when I get back to the easier stuff - like Marshmallow - my confidence and abilities are noticeably improved. Yesterday I kept saying to myself - this is sooo much fun! It didn't hurt that the weather & conditions were near perfect. We hope to get up there again this week as we leave for spring break in CA on Saturday - San Francisco, Disneyland, and La Quinta/Palm Springs.

Dan got some "new" boots from the local resale shops - now I can pick him out more easily as there are lots of red jackets on the slopes.


Here's a video that Dan took - it's just sooo much FUN! Why didn't I do this sooner??

No shaky knees in that video! (I never took lessons, so I'm still shaky). You look like an old pro Aunt Nancy!
