My Life... with a family full of skier's

Since the day I was born I have been around water skiing. When I was THREE Years Old I was taught how to ski on two skies by my Dad and DaDaddy(Granddad). When I was six years old I learned how to slalom ski, and in the ninth grade I decided I would try to ski in a few ski tournaments. Skiing is a way that my whole family is able to bond together. My whole life we have spent many nights and weekends at our lake practicing and hanging out with the family. It is a tradition in my family to take a Christmas card picture of my mom, dad, sister, and me. Families look forward every year to receive our Christmas card. It is a very hecktic day when the family takes the picture, but in the end, it turnes out awesome! Water skiing as always been a part of my life, and I am sure it will continue to be a part of my life.

How to ski on 1 ski(slalom)
  1. Skiing on 1 ski is more tricky. The first thing to do would be to find out if you are right or left foot forward. You would do this by having someone come behind you and push you. Which every foot comes forward is the foot you ski with in the front.
  2. Once in the water the trick is to keep your knees bent, and let the boat pull you up.
  3. Once you are out of the water it is important to not lean to far to one side.
  4. Sking on 1 ski is not easy. It may take multiple tries, but keep trying and eventually you will get the hang of it.
