A few tips for teaching kids how to ski; 1. Be patient. This is the most important rule of all. 2. Be flexible. I know you wanted to ski until lunch, but your child wants to go inside. So go inside. 3. Put your child in ski school some of the time so you can ski too. My kids are now grown up and they are both great skiers, but more importantly, they Love to Ski! The best part about teaching your kids to ski is that it is something that the whole family can do together no matter how old they get. Last Christmas we all went on a family ski vacation to Switzerland and we all had a great time together. If we had gone to a beach resort or on a cruise I’m sure that I would not have seen my kids for most of the trip. Skiing needs to be learned as a fun activity and should never be seen or viewed as work. Skiing is fun and should always be fun, enjoy!
