This is the start of Lucas' first skiing lesson.

Start with the basics

Somebody's having a good time!

Uh oh, Lucas is just about to wipe out -- but he's having fun anyway!

Next he takes on the stuffed animal slalom course.

Another day, Chuck and Lucas braved Afton without an instructor.

The secret to his good form in this shot is a clip keeping the tips of his skis together.

Wipe out!

The 'magic carpet' is fun!

Ready? Go!

What's a day of skiing without a lift line to wait in?

Zooooom!

There he goes!

Lucas gets set at the top of the hill.

See ya, Dad!

This is his 3rd time out now, and he's ready for some risk taking.

Lucas cuts into a turn at the bottom of the steep ridge.

Bye, Dad.

Who's having fun?
