It looks dangerous, but this is a very safe sport. That's a really hard thing to explain to people. If parents knew how safe this was and if kids came out and found out how much fun and what an amazing rush this is, I'd like to think we'd have a lot more jumpers. |
Maybe it's sheer athleticism, but that's not quite it. Aspen kids are on skis for so much of their life. When they put on jumping skis, they are just big skis. They are not intimidated and handle it beautifully. They are fearless. |
The kids are smart and are terrific listeners. They are learning something on jump after jump. It's obvious they're having a blast. |
