In fact, by the time we met up with them on the second day, I\u2019m pretty sure they had both passed us by in ski ability.<\/p>\n<p>George kept a close watch on the kids and was able to see their specific strengths and help them build on them. As a mom, I worried a little about them being away from us in ski school. Yet honestly, they could not have been happier\u2026 All smiles when we picked them up in the afternoons!
