Buddy Werner Youth Ski League

We had a great weekend skiing around Lake Tahoe. On Saturday we drove to Northstar and skied there with some friends. Our Sierra at Tahoe season pass is now good for Northstar too, it was nice to try out another local (2 hours away) ski area. We spent the night at Granlibakken Resort where we enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Woke up to another beautiful day of skiing. Bright sunshine and wonderful conditions. On Sunday we had Jamesy's last Buddy Werner Youth Ski Day and Race. James won a trophy, "Buddy Werner Youth Ski League
1st Place - 2009
Boys 6-8 Pre Race Division"
And also a medal
"Coach's Choice Award 2009
Buddy Werner Youth Ski League"
For most improvement!

He was very happy and we are proud of him!

Emails

James took the camera and made this self portrait. More photos here.

I just realized that folks have been responding to the postings we have here but they go to my gmail account, which I check every few months. I have switched the email address so I hope we get them on a more timely manner now. Sorry for the lack of response in the past.

James at his Buddy Werner Ski Club

James had a great time at his Buddy Werner Ski Club race the other day. He is really doing well on the timed races. The coach for his team is great and takes the kids on challenging terrain. Since James is 6 years old I have to ski with him so that he can be on the team. The kids are supposed to be 7 to be on Buddy Werner. I enjoy it because we get to ski every Sunday.

Here is James starting out at the top of the course.

Here is the team photo.

Our Cub Scout

James had his Cub Scout Pinewood Derby Car Race on Saturday. He won a couple races and then lost out. The police cruiser just could not keep up with the speeders on the track. You can see the car on the track in the photo at right.

The next day James said he had a really good time at the races. He is a good sport and enjoys the Cub Scouts. We are proud of him.
