Top tips to prepare children for the slopes from Inghams
We’ve asked the ski experts at Inghams to give us a few tips on how to prepare our children when going on holiday to the slopes! Have a look at the tips below and let us know yours!
Getting Dressed For Skiing:
Clothing:
– Always best to layer clothing so that they can add more or remove some depending on the weather.
– Good fitting ski boots and helmet are essential.
– If wearing sunglasses they should be on a chain so that they do not get lost if they fall or get taken off.
– If wearing goggles make sure they are attached to the helmet.
– Gloves/Mittens should be easy to put on and off.
In their Pockets:
– A small sun cream and lipsalve as the weather is constantly changing in the mountains
– A snack – something to give a bit of energy during the morning
– A couple of Euros – just in case they stop for a hot chocolate (normally more likely to happen if the weather is bad)
Preparing Your Child For The Lesson:
– Make sure you are on time, or even a bit early for the lesson so it starts calm and not rushed.
– Tell your children exactly where you will meet them after their lesson so that they do not worry.
– Make sure they know the name of their instructor.
They may be tired after their lesson so it’s always a good time to stop for a drink/food and catch up on their day.
