JD14 and 15 – What skiing with kids actually entails
- Start all preps early in the morning;
- Talk positively about snow and mountains in front of THEM;
- Let THEM eat and drink well;
ForcePatiently convince THEM to dress up using the clothes YOU selected (HIDE summer dresses and swim suits);- Load the car with ALL the gear;
- Ignore you neighbor laughing as bits and pieces cannot be fitted in the trunk;
- Strategically place chocolade, cookies and other treats in all your pockets and backpacks;
- Forgot gloves? Don’t despare, it happens to all of us despite double checking;
- Ignore their tears when gearing up under the slope;
- Ignore their tears when getting on the lift;
- Ignore their tears when reaching the top station of the lift;
- Ignore everything;
- Push them
firmlygently towards the bottom of the slope; - Continuously yell: “Make a pizza point!”, “Turn!” and “Stop!” – chances are they will ignore you just like you did earlier but you do diminish the risk of them getting killed;
- Enjoy!
