Ski Coach!

Gee Whiz!  I haven't posted for about five months!  I had a stinkin' busy autumn of home births, then the HOLIDAYZ, then ski season kicked in!

After two births around Christmas, I have been OFF CALL for the remainder of winter.  I'm liking the short break in pressure that call status brings.  But I'm hoping some pregnant women come into my midwifery practice soon who are due this summer!

MEANWHILE... I've been skiing.  A LOT.  I love skiing.  I raced as a teen and coached while I was in college.  The stats on my season's pass suggest I have more than 70 days on snow this year.  I'm not sure how that's actually possible.  But I have been on the mountain a LOT.

I started out the season as a coach in the masters program (adult racers or adults who want to ski more like racers). I was then moved into U10s.  These are mostly 8 and 9 year olds.  I have a consistent group of nine year old boys to rip around with.  These are great little skiers who push my buttons every single weekend day, but I love 'em.

Here is a photo of them goofing around while we practice our one-ski skiing.  They're super cute when they're being silly.

Ciao!
