Skiing in Silverton

Silverton is where Steve and I spent our honeymoon and is one of our favorite places to visit. Although we used to come every year, it has been many years since we had been in Silverton and a few things had changed. The city has put in a ski lift and has a couple of slopes to enjoy. It probably wouldn't appeal to the adventurous skier, but for families with children who are skiing for the first time, it is great! Steve worked with Auby who was skiing for the first time. Samantha had been through ski school, but that was three years ago and needed to get the feel of it again. She when up the ski lift with Steve once and it took them forever to get back down the hill. But, by the end of the day, she was getting the hang of it again. We really could have used another day to have fun with it. Auby did well, he kept his skis pointed straight down hill and never really learned to stop. Needless to say, when he and I when up the lift, it didn't take us long to get down. If it weren't for his skis coming off, then my skis coming off, then me being down hill from my ski poles and having to crawl up hill (on my rump) to reach them while hanging on to Auby, we would have made it down in no time! It was a little nerve racking, but we did get down. That was all the skiing Auby was interested in for the day, and I was a little worn out myself!
