Skiing with Andrew (2.5 y.o.) was not difficult. We deliberately didn’t put any pressure like “let’s try, it is so cool!” until he started asking for it. He watched his siblings skiing and soon was ready to try the stiff ski boots himself.
In Washington state, we discovered a ski swap a huge sale with thousands of items, both old and new in the middle of the Fall to be a great money and TIME saver when it comes to buying ski gear for any age. In our family, skiing with a toddler started with our first child, Artem he hated daycare at the ski resort, and the only way to continue skiing for us was to take him to the slope.
The Snoqualmie Pass Magic Carpet is known for its convenience and efficiency. It eliminates the need for skiers and snowboarders to remove their equipment and re-position themselves after each run, as is required with a traditional chairlift. Instead, riders can simply glide onto the moving belt and be transported smoothly and quickly back to the top of the hill.
Skiing With Toddler, Washington. Our experience
Surprisingly, the hard part for us wasn’t the tender age of our toddlers (Andrew and Erika were 2.5 y.o. when they started skiing) but packing, squeezing in the car, and 40 minutes later repeating it all in reverse order on the way to the ski lodge. Tips, challenges, costs, and our experience about skiing with toddlers in Washington and in the US generally in the post below. Enjoy! 🙂
