My moto is ‘IF THEY CAN WALK, THEY CAN SKI‘

My work has helped thousands of families introduce skiing to the youngest members of their family in a happy, healthy way and starting from as soon as they are walking and even before!

Choosing the best time of day to take a toddler sk

Choosing the best time of day to take a toddler skiing is crucial. First I consider the weather and snow conditions and then I pick a time when:

❄️ Their energy is high.
❄️ They are not tired or close to nap time.
❄️ They’ve had a good meal and snacks topped up.
❄️ Choose a time that is normally their play time.
❄️ If possible but not necessary, when the sun is on the slope.
❄️ If possible but not necessary, when the slopes are at their calmest.

and then of course I will be prepared that even then, it might not work out as I planned 😆

There’s a huge difference between a baby who has

There’s a huge difference between a baby who has just turned 1 and the a toddler who is still 1 but soon to turn 2. But they are still both 1 years old.

It’s the same with older toddlers too. There’s a big difference even between a 2 year old and a 2.5 year old. So this is why you’ll see me add my children’s ages in months.

My 3 littlest were all born at the start of autumn, meaning they are young for their age number throughout the winter ski months.

To add to this that all children are also different. At 2 years old my boys were so much bigger and stronger than my girl. But my girl is more capable of tasks at 2 than her brothers were.

When I was a kid I dreamt of living in two house’s, one right next to a ski piste and one next to the beach with a trampoline and swimming and pool.

I dreamt of having a big family, skiing with them and teaching skiing for my job.

Turns out the day dreaming as a child is a really good thing to do!

Going skiing with my 1 year old last winter was so

Going skiing with my 1 year old last winter was so much more than just getting her skiing, it was ;

❄️Spending time together,
❄️Making memories,
❄️Playing in a snowy winter wonderland play park,
❄️Riding on a bubble or chair lift for fun,
❄️Having a hot chocolate up high in the mountains,
❄️Building a little snowman at the side of the piste,
❄️Getting her one of those amazing-smelling waffles and enjoying the view while eating it,
❄️Enjoying nature together,
❄️Going on an adventure to find the ice cave,
❄️Going up the magic carpet
❄️ Finding ski tunnels,
❄️ Digging in the snow,
❄️ Going to the top of the highest mountain,
❄️ Riding the ski funicular train for fun.

(Please note that I am a professional ski teacher with 20 years experience skiing with toddlers and this is my own daughter)

Start their journey now and like my son Ossie, he could mostly keep up with me from around age 7! And now today at 18 he shows me new things!

Learning to wait for them to ask for help was one

Learning to wait for them to ask for help was one of the parenting skills that took me the longest to acquire.

But since I’ve started doing it more I’ve noticed that it is beneficial because it:

❄️ Boosts Independence: It helps them learn to solve problems and feel confident.

❄️ Builds Resilience: They get better at handling tough situations and not giving up too easily.

❄️ Encourages Thinking: It gives them a chance to think things through and be creative.

❄️ Improves Learning: Figuring things out on their own helps them remember how to do it the next time.

❄️ Promotes Communication: They learn to speak up and say what they need.

❄️ Respects Their Choices: It shows you as their parent trusts them to know when they need help.

Stepping back felt lazy to me at first but now I even notice other parents doing it with their children too and can see why.

Preparation is often the ski to success and yes it

Preparation is often the ski to success and yes it starts now in OCTOBER!

This winter I have the ULTIMATE thing to help you to prepare. I will be sharing more on this very soon 🤫

All 4 of my children walked between 10 - 12 months

All 4 of my children walked between 10 - 12 months and were on skis in the snow from 13 - 14 months. (It would have been earlier but we had to wait for the snow to arrive)

We can actually ‘introduce’ skiing to babies and toddlers at any age even before they can walk.
But 100% IF THEY CAN WALK, THEY CAN SKI!

But by ‘ski’ I don’t mean independently control their speed and link their turns, what I mean is:

❄️ We include them in skiing,
❄️ We can gently introduce skiing to them,
❄️ We get them involved in skiing,
❄️ We can show them they can feel safe & comfortable,
❄️ We have fun with them outside,
❄️ We show them that skiing is fun,
❄️ We help them to just experience the feel of skiing.

Preparation is often the key to success, so how can you best prepare your toddler for trying skiing this winter..

Get them used to equipment and clothing as early as possible at home.

Familiarize them with snow by playing in it, sledging, and building with it.

Show them books and videos of people skiing.

Take them to the side of the ski piste to see others skiing.

Talk about skiing as if it’s the most magical thing in the world.

Let them see Mummy and Daddy, big brothers and sisters skiing/on skis happy and smiling.

Do as many other sports with them too, such as cycling with them in a baby bike seat, using a balance bike, a scooter, swimming, baby gymnastics, roller skating and ice skating.

Play with ski related toys.

I can go on and on, you just need to remember that preparation can start now in October and even before.
