Caprii "Want's to be a snowboarder"

I've never pushed my girls one way or another on how they enjoy winter but I have to admit I was really stoked when Caprii woke up yesterday morning and said "I want to be a snowboarder". So the Ken Achenbach lesson tradition of taking you to the top of the lift, and saying "Point your hand where you want to go, don't worry, you'll figure it out by the bottom" and "If it feels right and you're having fun, you're doing it right" continues on. Magic Carpet lift was closed but Caprii said "That's for babies" so down the Magic Chair we went. First run 30 falls. Kaia teaching her the finer points of learning to snowboard that my pointers somehow missed. By the third run she made it down with about 4 falls. So stoked. Thanks Burton Snowboards and Jg Gerndt for making such awesome kids products that make learning to snowboard so easy, so fun and so painless, no matter how lazy my lesson was. Next time she'll be in the Don Smith advanced class - Put cookies in your pocket for lunch and when they aren't reduced to dust by the time you want to eat them, you know you are getting better. Caprii's fire is lit, she wanted to skip school and go snowboarding today. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She will be running the Camp of Champions in no time with her sister.
