Take advantage of the fearlessness in toddlers...


and strap a pair of skis on their little feet! Since the first few weeks of her life when she was bundled up and strapped into a baby jogger Ruby has been carted all over the Adirondacks, so the minute we could get her on skis we went for it! Over the last couple of seasons I've been had too many grinning from ear to ear days chasing the lucky little brat down slopes to count. Ruby gets to live out all our childhood dreams-including my childhood dream of being a pizza eating triathlete! Today Ruby and one of her friends kept begging me to take them into a trail in the woods so they could point it down a nice steep chute, only they didn't need to beg because it was so awesome watching them squealing and flying down the hill. It's amazing the terrain she can handle and the endurance that she has-hopefully it will keep me young until she's 10 and I really can't keep up! So do your toddlers and yourself a favor and get them to the mountain before they learn what fear is!
