We had a really, really, really good time. The skiing was great, we slept in Saturday morning instead of leaving super early as planned. So we only spent a half day skiing at Le Ballon d’Alsace Saturday. It worked out perfectly because we went to this really small place with only two short runs. It was good for me, but a little mild for SB. I was able to practice a lot and get really comfortable. Then we spent the night in Colmar, on the way to La Bresse Hohneck, and on day two we found this AWESOME place with tons of runs -and tons of people-but not lines so bad we had to wait more than we skiied. SB was dominating the red run, and I was actually skiing, not just surviving the blue ones! They had several that you could chair lift and tow bar up to, and then ski down for a while. Not like all the ones I have been on so far that you can see the end from the beginning. The two videos are both at the first place. I'm going to try to post one of SB on the red run at Hohneck, but no promises, it's kind of long. 
Day one of skiing. The snow machine was SO pretty!

That lady's salad was HUGE!

When all these people wrecked on the last part of the blue run, I was done for the day. Too icy!!!
These people look like they've got the right idea!
A note about skiing...
Someone will always be better than you.
It doesn't matter if he's four years old.

Sounds like you had a really good time! Have you thought about putting those memories in a digital storybook? Go to www.createyourfamilyheritage.com to see how. You've got a great story.
The four year olds' center of gravity is lower than yours. That's why they're so damn good. Drives me crazy.
