My encouragement to you is: hike back up and go through the path a few times. He had to adjust his expectations, and keep going. But, he had misjudged the process of getting to the fun. Ollie knew sledding was supposed to be fun. Sometimes we have an image in our mind of how something is supposed to go, because we see others doing it. I got all the gear, I hiked in, but now I just feel bummed.” Most of us undoubtedly experienced what Ollie did on that first ride down… The excitement of downloading the software, (no trash bag marshmallows here) diving into some tutorials, then taking it for a ride. While watching the fun unfold, I couldn’t help but think about the designers who undertake the task of learning SketchUp. By the third time down he was smiling and we were taking turns on the saucers. He went down the sled run again, and picked up some speed. Trudging uphill in the snow also not his idea of fun. So Ollie marched up the hill making a foot path next to his sled run. “You have to go down the same run a few times before it gets fun!” My partner was shouting with encouragement. Ollie slowly slid to the bottom and came to his unfulfilling stop. Now, we had geared up, picked up some saucers, and hiked to a great spot an empty lake bed with untouched snow.

The feeling of buying hardware store snow gear that makes you look like a trash bag marshmallow, so that you can zip down sled runs while mildly comfortable and warm. I grew up “going to the snow” in the Sierra Nevada mountains and had a blast, so I wanted my boys to experience that same feeling. We are California coastal dwellers… we don’t see much snow. My 11-year old, Ollie, was not impressed with what he thought was going to be an epic sled run.
