Harry came to visit us and get some tele instruction. He did great on the introductory part. When questioned, he even remembered how many skis are required. |
 |
When it came to actually using those two skis, progress slowed. I told him it was like dancing. Apparently, he thought I meant slam dancing. |
 |
Next we left the ski area and climbed Mores Mountain. He had trouble with getting his arms and legs in opposition. He did better after I took his gum away. |
 |
He was the first to the top. Go, Ed Whimper! He was a little disappointed that there were no rocks to roll. |
 |
Then came the real test (you may want to click on the image to see a larger version). The first turn looked pretty good. But by the second turn, things were beginning to unravel. The third turn was,...well,.....not really a turn. Well, OK, we'll cut him some slack. He did end up pointing in different directions.

| To give him some credit, he did a lot better the next day on Copper Mountain. | |
