Taking children skiing for the first time isn’t hard, obviously make sure you have some good warm clothes and try to get to get them used to wearing gloves hats and goggles (especially the younger ones).
Technical wear is always better than just a warm coat, but that doesn’t mean you have to break the bank. The likes of Aldi Lidl and Sports direct often have ski jackets for as little as £30 and sometimes less, and they can still be used back here as a great winter coat.
When you get there don’t force them to do a full 8 hours skiing – it could put them off for life. Take them out and introduce them gently, smaller children 45 minutes to an hour can easily be enough then go swimming or out for hot chocolate afterwards, then they will relate skiing with having great fun.
For smaller children if you can’t ski then putting them into a kinder garden can be a great way to go, they provide loads of fun for little ones and they really know how to entertain them. Older children and teenagers that know if they are keen or not, can easily go into ski school and will progress quickly there and will give you and them some free time from each other.
