Skiing with a Puppy

Our old dog was a ski patrol flunky.  The good thing about her was she was around skis from the get go.  She knew the command 'Out front' so she wouldn't get run over.  She could ride a chair lift and she could find us (no one else) if we ever got caught in a slide.
So the new dog, Lolly, was introduced to the sport last Saturday and this is how it went.
Lolly. . .Go!
First she sat on the skis.  Now this is a sign of how smart she is.  If you sit on the skis, you don't sink into the snow.  When you are this small, even a 6" storm is significant.
But then when we were skiing on the road she ate the skis.
This is not a sign of intelligence buy rather, an indication she is a puppy.
Just one more reminder, I have a puppy on my hands, not a well trained ski dog.
Little does she know, the best is yet to come. . . POWDER!
