do it alone), but with good planning you can certainly reduce the stress.
Here are some tips:
- Take advantage of ski lessons. Even if you are a great skier it can very
frustrating to try to teach your child to ski. If you aren't an experienced
skier, taking ski lessons yourself is also a good idea. - Regarding lessons, know that they can be expensive and make sure you
talk to the instructors so you know what exactly what your children will be
taught. Ensure that your child will learn how to get on and off the lift--you
definitely don't want to teach them those skills yourself. - Make sure your lodging is convenient to the slopes. If you can afford it
and it's available, opt for ski-in/ski-out accommodations. Lugging your
equipment along with your child's equipment can be extremely tiring,
especially if you're not used to the higher elevations. Consider storing
your skis or boards, poles and boots overnight at the slopes, they
usually offer secure storage facilities. - Know our safety tips and be sure your kids know how to be safe on the
slopes. - If you're travelling with a child too young to ski be sure to plan ahead to
ensure that adequate daycare services are available. Most good ski
resorts have great day care programs, but be prepared--they can be
expensive. - Consider travelling with another family. You may be able to save on
lodging, the kids will enjoy being with one another, the adults can take
turns with kid-duties. - Take advantage of the Internet to get to know the town and resort you will
be visiting ahead of time. Think about dining, shopping and other off-the-
slope activities you may want to take advantage of. - If you are driving to your destination:
- Keep track of road conditions, especially near mountain passes.
- Make sure your vehicle is capable of making the trip.
- Be prepared to drive in icy conditions.
