Skiing with Robbie

So, you might remember that last year I tried skiing for the first time post-femoral neuropathy and I made it two full runs before my legs were too exhausted for me to walk anymore. Well, I've spent a lot more time working really hard and building the muscle back in my legs. So, Robbie and I decided it was time to try skiing again. The day couldn't have been more perfect is was warm and not windy at all, but the snow was still soft; a gorgeous day!

Anyway, it was really funny because Robbie went picture crazy, there are tons of pictures of me skiing, like he was a proud dad or something. I was laughing so hard. I can only imagine that he will do the same thing (only probably worse) to McKinley on her first day of skiing!

The skiing went a lot better than last time. I was able to ski for a half day and not be so tired that I had a hard time with stairs afterwards. It wasn't quite like skiing used to be. I used to love doing the black diamonds and moguls and going off jumps and through the trees and trying to stuff that was too hard for me and crashing all over the place and just being crazy. I'm not quite to that level but we did a lot of blues and some greens and I played in the trees a little and went on some bumpy runs. It was so fun to be up on the mountain again, I had a blast!
