Adaptive Skiing at Big Bear

Last week we had the wonderful opportunity to go skiing.  Big Bear has an adaptive ski program and we were able to go up with a group of people.  What an amazing opportunity!!! I can now honestly say that I skied a black diamond with my son!  When I took him I thought he would be on the bunny slopes the entire day, but it turned out it was the real deal.  He had two volunteers with him that took him on the ski lift and would then take him down the real mountain.  The second half of the day I got ahold of some skis and took some runs with them.  It was AWESOME!!!

Getting excited to see the snow for the first time.

Here's some video of him coming down the slopes

That's Caleb in the middle of the ski lift.

So excited to ski with Caleb!

Thumb's up for another run

The view from the top of the mountain.  BEAUTIFUL!

Here he is in action.

Great day!
