Last Day of Summer




On the last day of summer vacation Dane, and his buddies Patrick, Daniel and Julien, got to have a ski jumping lesson at the Olympic Winter Sports Park in Park City. Lucky kids, right?! I want to trade places with my kids some days, they are fortunate to be able to do some really cool things.
The boys had a 3 hour lesson that started with an introductory video. Then they put on their gear (helmets, wet suit, life jacket, ski's and boots) and practiced skiing down a carpet ramp. Then they practiced jumping into the water without ski's. The water was so very, very cold! And then finally it was time to put it all together and ski down the big ramp!
Dane and all the boys loved it and did so well! Dane loved doing 180's.
