Go Fasssstttttt!

Posted on February 19, 2010November 27, 2017 by Ski Bum Poet™

That’s what Ellie kept yelling at the top of her lungs on her first day skiing from the chair lift, last Tues February, 16th 2010. She rode up Sunnyside lift at Alta three times. She was between my legs for each run, and the last one we went top to bottom without stopping. On the steeper sections I just stayed hard in the wedge and she kept forward leaning into my hands. When on the flats, she stood straight up and held all her weight, just holding on to my fingers.

Was a special day for me, and a big thanks to Dobber and team at Peak Photo for getting this shot for us!

Here is the caption from the Twitpic where I posted a high resolution version…

Ellie at 2.5 years old skiing off Sunnyside Lift at Alta on February 15th 2010. She took three runs, stands up on her own on the flats and yells “Go Fasssstttttt” the whole time.
