Tree Skiing with Tasman in Tegelberg

This was Lasse's first time skiing with Tasman. 

These guys are great buddies. Tasman's dad is Sasha Rearick from the US Ski Team, so Taz lives a similar life to us. He is traveling a ton and also speaks 2 languages. Actually Tasman is learning 3 languages. His mom, Kati, is German and speaks German to him, while Sasha speaks to Tasman in French and the rest of us speak to him in English. Lasse picks up a lot of German every time we get to be with Taz. We went to Tasmans hill in Germany, Tasman was ripping it up. He showed us his favorite tree trails which was a first for Lasse and they had a blast. Kati wanted the boys to do more turns but Lasse wouldn't wait he just wanted to get to the lift first, kinda sounds like a Schleper if you ask me. I am still working on the video from Tegelberg. I will post it soon....

We stayed the night in Germany with Kati, Tasman, Zali (Tasmans sister) and Tasman's Grandparents.  I am always amazed at how healthy and family orientated the people in Europe are. We went to the neighbors farm for fresh milk and eggs. Kati's mom made wonderful salads and they had 4 or 5 pots of different flavors of tea ready in the kitchen. We ate fresh bread and endless fruits and vegetables. These photos are from the adventure to the neighbors farm. 

Day two of skiing with Tasman was great. We got more runs and more trees. Tasman can really arc his skis. I think Kati and Sasha have been teaching him modern ski technique. I like how Kati makes Tasman lift one ski and then the other ski. She also has him do hops while he goes down. Both boys took some good diggers, and both were good sports. By the last run they both had enough confidence to go down the steepest slope alone. It is so cool that Lasse has a buddy like Taz. I hope they will grow up together and push each other to the outer limits.
