From The Colonel,
My son's family was featured in a video posted to the Snowshoe website today. Hopefully it is still there when you click on the link below, and scroll down to the bottom.

Both my son's children and daughter's children began their ski lessons at Snowshoe, and have continued them there. All started at about age 3 1/2 to 4, and have taken both group and private lessons, a coupling I strongly recommend for children, especially the little ones. Remember that while the purpose of lessons is to teach skiing and snowboarding, the overall primary purpose is for the children to enjoy sliding on the snow and acquire a sport they can enjoy for the rest of their lives.
And, by the way, the Snowshoe childrens ski school excels at this. The video features my son Morgan's family, celebrating the fact that they can ski/board together all over the Snowshoe complex. There are 4 children, ages 11-4, with Henry, the youngest skiing Cupp Run for the first time during our visit to the Shoe over the Presidents Day Weekend.
I hope you enjoy the video, and yes, I am a proud grandfather as the folks at the Blue Knob gathering can attest. My daughter's family, including 3 youngsters now live in Germany. But they all also got their skiing foundation at Snowshoe. They have enjoyed skiing the Alps a number of times since moving to Europe.

Colonel, already considered you a great guy, but seeing what an awesome bunch you've spawned raises your stature around here about ten more notches. And being the sugar-granddaddy that helped facilitate a lot of their slopetime and skills development raises you another ten notches. 
Grandfatherhood becomes you. Well done!
Your daughter-in-law did a great job with her speaking part and the Snowshoe video people put out a very professional product. My wife enjoyed viewing it too.

Snowshoe posted that video on their Facebook page around 9 AM this morning.
Great video, you should be proud.
