3/22/2010: "Just a quick note to
thank you for your patience last week. Our whole [family] group learned so much
from you and we appreciate the personal attention you gave to each of us.
[My husband] was so excited to learn so much from you and went on to enjoy several
blue runs after his time with you on Monday afternoon. He eagerly shared the
tips you gave him to me on the long drive back to Texas and is excited to return
next year for more skiing and more lessons from you.
After my time
with you and your instruction about parallel skiing, I tackled Little Harry and
went on to Bonanza, skiing down it several times before wearing myself out. I
never thought I’d ever enjoy skiing but you changed my mind. I’m looking
forward to learning more from you in the upcoming years.
[My husband] and I both
felt that [our 5-year old boy] learned enough basic skills from you to
enter him in Ski School on Wednesday. He had a great time with his group and
said that he loves skiing and can’t wait to come back. Our whole goal of this
trip was for him to enjoy the sport and learn the basics. You helped us
accomplish this goal and we couldn’t be more thankful. We are looking forward to
seeing you again next year.
