A super ski Season!

Last Monday was the last ski day for the Special O ski program that I go with and do different sports.  Remember how I used to write the reports every day?  Well I haven't written one in a while, but the instructors wanted me to write something  for a ski season wrap up.  It was an amazing ski season!  We had awesome volunteers who came out every Sunday to help us out!  I love to ski!  How strange; snow is one of my biggest barriers, being in a wheelchair, yet at Panorama I have so fun in the snow.  ha ha.  Anyway, here is what I wrote to wrap up of the season.
April 9th was sadly the last ski day of the season for the Special O program.  This program gets the Special O kids out of the  house with special  friends and have fun!  This report should not just be about Monday, but about the amazing ski season this year in general.  Most importantly it should outline the highlights of our super ski season and thank all the volunteers and others that made these ski days so much fun and memorable.  Here are the main highlights of this years season.
The weather was beautiful for skiing!  We really lucked out.  It was never too too cold.  Kate's best friend Grace came out to ski three times this season, twice with her sleek sit ski known as the "Ferrari."  All the volunteers were quite impressed with it and liked how it moved on the hill.  It's so special for the two girls to get to ski together, especially on the last day of the season and on Kate's birthday!  Grace, we love having you as a visitor to our program and our hill and hope you can come out some more next year  This year was a huge year for skiing firsts!  We now have three sit skis for our program so three skiers could come down the hill together.  It's like we have our own sit ski race team!  A fun thing for everyone this year was going over jumps!  It scared everyone, except maybe Jared!  All in all though, everyone loved it!  The biggest jump we took was kind of nerve racking so one person led the way, it might have been Jared, to show us all how it was done.  We had a new skier join us on the last day from Saskatoon, Aaleah.  It was her second time skiing with us so she was just getting used to the sit ski with volunteer Matt and was really getting good at her turns.  Everyone improved in their own little ways throughout the season.  We  have so many people to thank this year!  Thank you to the incredible volunteers who gave up their  Sundays to give the kids a great day on the hill.  You were always so willing and eager to try new things and always had a smile on your faces.  Thank you to Lustes for making the best hot chocolate in town and giving it to us for free every Sunday afternoon.  Thanks to Panorama for hosting this program.   We love coming to ski on your hill!  Thank you to Parents who made sure themselves and their kids were part of our program.  it was great  you made it out as much as you could.  And, finally, for the big finale, thank you to the DeRuyter family who started it all.  You all have amazing spirits and this program wouldn't be half of what it is without you guys.  Thank you to everyone for a great ski season and we hope to see you in May again to start up the swim program!  See ya there!
