After we lost Elsie, Brian's company was so thoughtful and gave our family a week off to spend together in Breckenridge and ski. While it was an emotional week (knowing that if our little girl had lived, we wouldn't be there), we had a really nice week as a family. We were spoiled. The hotel was on the mountain, ski valet just feet from 3 lifts, beautiful indoor pools and a bowling alley. We skied each day, swam, bowled, and went out to eat in the town a few times.
The first day, Adler was a little hesitant to ski and definitely not confident in his abilities. He fell often. Landon was pretty unsure of his skiing also. Brian and I split up and each took one for the first two days. By the end of the week, Landon had embraced the powder on the edges of runs, began parallel skiing more frequently, and learned to ski fast yet in control. Adler's confidence grew, his turns became more natural, he was able to recover from little bumps, and he skied a few blues. The best part, however, was that the four of us could ski together.
