"I'm Goin' Ridin' on the Ski Train of Love...."


Oh wait, I think the song is "Freeway of Love" so, just forget about my trendy title. Unfortunately, some of us had more fun than others.

It was actually more like the "ski train of HORROR" for our little Ethan who not only lost his ski instructor but developed a fever while in the ski school, skipped lunch and slept on a bench for 3 hours in the lodge until his ski class was over. Only to have a horrible cough and act like he was going to vomit at any moment. Yes, all of that excitement and it cost us $105.00! Just for the dang ski school! I should have been his instructor, at least I wouldn't have lost him.

But wait, it gets better, on the way home on the "ski train of Trauma", he accidentally got himself stuck in the bathroom and no one realized it until I heard the screaming and crying from the bathroom and ran down the corridor and shoved the door open only to find my terrorized little boy.

As I said, some of us had more fun than others. I just hope that my poor child is not scarred for life.

Next time you decide to go skiing! Don't pay for a ski instructor. Hire me....One on one training for the price of a lift ticket for the whole day.


I will gladly take your kids and teach them how to ski!!! I was single until I was 30 so I had a season pass for 5 years until I got married and became poor!

I also know how to Snowboard really well so I could teach them that to! I have taught 7 of my nieces and nephews and all are very good skiers and snowboarders today!

So if Ethan ever wants to try again....know that there are other options besides over priced schools that lose kids :)
