LOL...Thanks for the great image, Angie!  Blaze learned to ski down the
muddy slopes around here before he ever learned to move his legs in
anything resembling a gait!  It was actually pretty smooth albeit a bit
nerve wracking...you hope you get to the bottom before the back end on skis
overtakes the front end that's trying to stay under control!!
