We had an absolutely gorgeous “Learn to Rollerski” day this past weekend. An all-star cast of NENSA, Mad River Valley Bill Koch League, and GMVS teamed up to host the day right! Music, tons of V2 rollerskis, a tent for some shade (thanks NENSA), kiddie ski-boots and poles, professional photography (thanks Mad River BKL), and two scruffy looking guys with hula hoops, physio-balls, and cones (Justin and me).br /br /Pictures from Abby Weissman/NENSA @ Flickr:br /br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cBFLp0vFuic/TCCph2hSjuI/AAAAAAAAAPo/iWlPYgM7_so/s1600/lydia.jpg”img style=”display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cBFLp0vFuic/TCCph2hSjuI/AAAAAAAAAPo/iWlPYgM7_so/s400/lydia.jpg” alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485570745173184226″ border=”0″ //aLydia catches some shade.br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cBFLp0vFuic/TCCphbsfHbI/AAAAAAAAAPg/LMyDZSe-y8c/s1600/justin-kids.jpg”img style=”display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cBFLp0vFuic/TCCphbsfHbI/AAAAAAAAAPg/LMyDZSe-y8c/s400/justin-kids.jpg” alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485570737972387250″ border=”0″ //aJustin helps Nina get into some Marwe’s.br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cBFLp0vFuic/TCCphLRP14I/AAAAAAAAAPY/LrjPT_ffCNo/s1600/fitzy-neighbor.jpg”img style=”display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cBFLp0vFuic/TCCphLRP14I/AAAAAAAAAPY/LrjPT_ffCNo/s400/fitzy-neighbor.jpg” alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485570733563172738″ border=”0″ //aKaitlin and her neighbor!br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cBFLp0vFuic/TCCpg-wLLuI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/GN2prYHOVfQ/s1600/big-boys.jpg”img style=”display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cBFLp0vFuic/TCCpg-wLLuI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/GN2prYHOVfQ/s400/big-boys.jpg” alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485570730203229922″ border=”0″ //aThe “big boys” — I believe all graduates of Mad River BKL.
