A big advantage of going to Edelweiss is that they have their own American ski school. Not only do the instructors all speak English, but they charge in the new American peso which saves a considerable amount. The girls both loved their four days of ski school. Veronica was up the mountain on intermediate slopes most of the time. Ashlynn began at the bottom of the mountain, but spent the final two days up the mountain on the beginner and even some intermediate runs. I wimped out with the excuse that the conditions weren’t perfect. Jimmy attempted snowboarding, but found that his good sense of balance did nothing to stop him from landing repeatedly on his knees and wrists, body parts he needs for running and his job, respectively. If he’d only fallen on his head, he may have stuck it out. Instead he switched to snowblades for a day then hung out with me for two days. On Saturday, he took Veronica by cog train to ski the glacier at the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain at 9,700 feet (sorry, he didn’t bring the camera).
