Adapting to my new life

It has been awhile since I have updated my blog. Last weekend I just passed another milestone. I accomplished two days of skiing with Oregon Adaptive Sports (OAS) at Mt. Bachelor. It was my first time skiing since being diagnosed with a brain tumor and surgery. It was like skiing on top of the world! And yes, the view was spectacular!

This is a picture of my instructor skiing backwards in-front of me as a visual target.

This is a picture of what it looks like from a distance. My instructor in front of me. Me in the middle. And two blockers / assistants skiing to the side and behind me to make sure no one skied in front of my path down the mountain. There were times I felt like the Queen of England skiing with my posse of bodyguards around me.

This is me with my OAS instructor, Dan, from the first day.

By the next day, I was skiing "blue" intermediate runs and even made it over to the Outback chairlift to ski the run called Downunder with the continue assistance of Oregon Adaptive Sports instructor, Melody, and 2 blockers.

It was such a thrilling time and I am anxious to go back again soon for more time with Oregon Adaptive Sports they made it so easy and so much fun!
