And hotter still...

Right, now this is getting silly. April 21st Jayne was still skiing and now here we are, less than three weeks later, and it's just hit 88F outside! Unbelievably, snow is still visible in spots on top of the mountains.

Just 3 weeks ago: In her last lesson of the season with VASS Jayne helped Nini get to grips with 4-track skiing. These pics just came through on email today from Nini and her friend Kim.



Jayne says:

I discovered that skiing with outriggers is a real blast :)) and Nini did a fantastic job! She used to race and this was her first time skiing since she had a stroke 5 years ago. While coping with weakness and balance problems resulting from her stroke Nini not only mastered the outriggers but also learned how to handle parabolic skis - they're a far cry from the straight racing skis she'd been used to!

A splendid way to round off a great first season with Vermont Adaptive... and it only took a week for the skin to stop peeling off my nose - it was really hot that day too!

We're both looking forward to meeting up on the slopes again next winter, tho it seems so far away just now ;)
