Skiing can be cold, wet and very frustrating, particularly for children.
Starting your child off with ski lessons may help. Children often respond better to instruction from others, and ski school will give experienced skiers time alone on the slopes. If your children are young or not acclimated to the cold, limit them to half-day lessons followed by indoor activities at the ski resort or hotel. When they do head for the slopes, dress your kids in layers of loose-fitting clothing topped with a waterproof shell, and keep them extra warm and comfortable with hats, mittens and socks.
