Nikolai Tomesewski, 6, waits nervously for his volunteer instructor on a cold February day outside the Maine Handicapped Skiing building at Sunday River ski area. This day was his first day trying to ski without a slider or sit-ski -- a very exhuasting a difficult step up. Nik was recently adopted from Russia and has a stunted arm and severly stunted leg.
