First Day of Skiing - Breckenridge

We had a private family lesson booked from our first day of skiing.  It was a beautiful day - sunny and high 30s/40s.  Our instructor was Sylvan Kline and he met us at the lifts near our condo. He was a former strength and conditioning coach for both an NHL team and an MLB team which was cool. He helped Phil and I get used to skiing again and gave us some things to work on once we were comfortable. He had the boys working on skiing backwards and turning on one leg. Once Phil and I were comfortable on the greens, he took the boys off to try some more challenging runs. We met up for lunch at the resort. In the afternoon, we did another run together so he could check on our progress. Then he took the boys off again. They ended up taking the Imperial Express lift which is the highest lift in North America (12,840 feet) and even did some blacks. After our day of skiing, we just picked up some food to eat back at the condo and then played pool and some games before calling it a night.
Heading out!
