Ski Southeast Messageboard

With a bit of snow forecast, Mr. ClemsonKeri & I decided it was time to get our little dude (ClemsonKeri Jr? lol) on the slopes. Santa brought him some skis for Christmas and our schedule finally let up enough to make a quick day trip up to Cataloochee.

It was raining in the valley when we drove through, so that was not too exciting...but by the time we were halfway up the mountain, the road (and everything else) was completely snow covered. It continued to snow until at least noon, maybe 1pm. A nice layer of fluff was enjoyed. On to the pictures...

Kamikaze stance perfected right off the bat


Obligatory chairlift selfie


Easy way, first time off the bunny slope




New helmet, new SkiSE stickers...


Alley Cat & Lower Snowbird from the lift


Glades were in decent shape, enough to warrant a few runs through






Working on his stance


He fell over on purpose and wanted me to take his picture


Rock Island Run




Easy Way with a longer leash






Rock Island again




All in all, it was a pretty good day. We had little to no lift lines all day. Our little man did pretty well for a 4 year old and had absolutely no fear of the chair lifts or the speed. Once he gets the skiing down, I may have to get him a board and switch him to the dark side

That's great stuff....the best!

Looks like a great day was had by all! Reminds me of a trip I took to Copper with some friends and their 3 kids for their first ski trip.. yours was better.

Awesome. Im so happy for yall. Youre very blessed

That's awesome!! I wish I had started my kids that young.

Now that is what makes Skiing the joy that it is. FAMILY ! Awesome pics !
