Is it possible to attend the sessions?
Staying “hidden” behind a slalom pole to watch your child: it’s natural, but your little one will spot you faster than you think, which could lead to tears or discourage them from skiing and enjoying time with new friends!
Instead, ask for a brief update at the end of the session. We have your mobile number (provided to our hosts), and if there’s a problem or major upset, we’ll contact you right away.
