Yippee!!! Jack has officially moved past the bunny hill and Sugar and Spice. During his last lesson, Jack's instructor took him on an "intermediate" run. In my opinion, this particular run is really a mislabeled beginner hill...whatever, at least Jack could feel like he could conquer the "blue runs". Today he wanted to try this slope again to show off his advanced skills (HA!). Well, knowing that he doesn't really know his way around the mountain, I took him down a true intermediate run and told him it was the one he went down in his lesson. Yes, I lied to my child. About half-way down he said, "Wow, this hill is much steeper than it was last time". When he successfully reached the bottom, I broke the news to him that he went down a much harder run. Turns out, this is just the confidence builder he needed. He instantly wanted to try every blue run at Sierra. We spent the rest of the day exploring new terrain for Jack including Lower Main and West Bowl. Next stop...black diamonds ; )
