My daughter Eliza loved to ski. The first time we took her she cried all the way up the lift, she was strapped to a strange device that was new to her, she didn't know what to expect. Then she got off the lift and squealed with delight - and that was just from the exit ramp. She smiled and enjoyed her whole day skiing, especially the hot chocolate stop at mid-mountain! She would ask for 1/4 hot chocolate and 3/4 whipped cream - maybe we should call it a whipped cream stop. Our last day skiing together we did laps on Sherwood Express, there was no whipped cream stop so we bought M&Ms and she ate the whole pack on the chair lift. Skiing was the one place where she was truly the big sister and could go places her little sister couldn't. We still call the Chalet "Eliza's hot chocolate place." We miss you Eliza. Please support this extraordinary organization helping skiiers and adventurers of all abilities reach their goals.
