REASONS WHY YOU MAY WANT TO SIGN UP FOR LESSSONS

Lessons may be a good idea for several reasons.

Kids tend to listen better and learn faster when someone other than their parents are giving instruction.

The instructors at your local mountain are very familiar with the terrain and experienced with kids of a specific age group.

It can give a big confidence boost to learn among other kids around the same age.

REASONS TO TEACH KIDS TO SKI YOURSELF

Skiing is pretty pricey to begin with when you account for rentals, lift tickets, and transportation. Lessons just add another layer of cost you may want to avoid.

It is an excellent way to bond with your child and share your passion.

If you decide to do it yourself, don't be above bribery. Treats or candy can help get past the inevitable frustrations and make the experience more enjoyable for all involved.

Regardless of whether you choose lessons or go it alone, make sure everybody is safe and comfortable. Getting the proper gear and ensuring you are able to provide the needed support and instruction is essential.
