How do you ski?

I think they approach it a lot more enthusiastically than adults do ... we tend to be a lot more afraid of getting hurt or looking stupid than kids do. I think that if it's something she wants to try, and you can afford it, it would certainly be something worth looking into. I didn't know a thing about hockey when my youngest decided that she wanted to play ... never thought I'd be a hockey mom, but I did it, and it was so worth it for her.

Learning to ski is much easier for a child than an adult. I worked on the National Ski Patrol for years and taught many children how to ski. There are a few basic skills that your daughter will need to ski down the hill and be in control of her direction and speed. It is well worth the money to purchase a lesson for her to learn these basic techniques. Once she has these down, she will really be able to have fun! Skiing is somewhat expensive because you will either need to purchase equipment or rent it each time. You will also either need to purchase a lift ticket each time or have a season pass. Overall, if you ski frequently it is worthwhile to own your own equipment and have a season pass. Then it is not too spendy!
