Pete enjoyed snowboarding for the second time on the Seven Springs trip. On the first day, after a few quick runs on the Magic Carpet, he headed on to the ski lift with Eric Junker. Eric had time for a few quick runs before heading back to Pittsburgh. When they got to the top of the hill, facing a steep blue-square slope, Pete paused as he realized that he still didn't know how to turn or stop. Eric said "gotta run" and headed down the mountain. Fortunately, Scott and Robbie arrived and were able to help guide Pete down the green slopes with minimal injury.
After a number of crash-filled runs, everyone decided that learning how to stop would be advisable before heading back up the mountain. So on Monday Morning, Pete took a private class with Robbie and Evan Wirth (son of Cubmaster Dave). The lesson was great, and by the end of the day Pete was seen in the terrain parks and skiing by himself down the steep signature slope of the resort.
Mom: "Pete, your jacket is pretty wet. Did you fall on the slopes?"
Pete: "No, it's pretty much sweat"
Mom: "I'm sorry I asked."
