Regular gloves are perfect for breaks in between skiing sessions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200a\u2705\u200acheckyeti Tip for Kids:<\/strong>\u00a0Ski overalls are especially popular with kids. While snow sometimes finds a way through the gap in a two-piece skiing outfit, this\u00a0can\u2019t happen\u00a0with an overall. Ski masks, which should be worn underneath the ski helmet, are very practical as they protect the ears and forehead from the cold.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the age and needs of the child, mittens which generally tend to be warmer can also be worn. The most important thing, however, is that the gloves or mittens are waterproof as kids like to play in the snow. After all, children do love a good snowball fight and for that, cold and wet hands are a total no-go!<\/p>\n<h2>Equipment<\/h2>\n<p>If it\u2019s your first ski lesson, checkyeti recommends renting the equipment you need.\u00a0 When looking for skis, poles, and other accessories, be sure to ask for advice from experts and take your time when trying on ski shoes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200a\u200a\ud83c\udfbf\u200aSki shoes, skis &amp; ski poles:<\/strong> First-timers and kids usually don\u2019t need ski poles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200a\u200a\u26d1\ufe0f\u200aSki helmet:<\/strong> In some countries, helmets are mandatory for kids. However, checkyeti recommends a helmet for skiers of every age.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200a\u200a\u200a\u26f7\ufe0f\u200aSki straps:<\/strong> Velcro fastening straps facilitate the carrying of skis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200a\u200a\ud83e\udd7d\u200aSki goggles &amp; sunglasses:<\/strong> The natural UV rays are amplified through the reflecting white snow, hence protecting your eyes is very important. Ski goggles also protect from snow and cold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200a\u200a\u200a\u2705\u200acheckyeti Tip for Kids:<\/strong> Make sure to write the name of your child on all of their equipment so that it doesn\u2019t get lost. If your child is using rented equipment then simply write the name on a sticker that you can put on the equipment and take off once you return it.<\/p>\n<div class='checkyeti-cta-button-wrapper'>\r\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.checkyeti.com\/en\/v\/15\/ski-rental\" class='checkyeti-cta-button' target=\"_blank\" title=\"Easily rent your equipment across slopes in Europe\">Easily rent your equipment across slopes in Europe<\/a>\r\n<\/div>\n<h2>To do before you hit the slopes<\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u200a\u2615\u200aHave a complete breakfast<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200a\u200a\u2600\ufe0f\u200aApply sunscreen &amp; lip balm:<\/strong> Don\u2019t underestimate the solar radiation on the mountains.

This is especially helpful with little kids as they can get used to the environment and thus can avoid additional stress on their first day of skiing. If the kids have a long way to go on foot from your accommodation to the ski school meeting point, consider taking a pair of regular shoes for them. After a long and successful day of skiing, kids often don\u2019t want to walk in heavy ski shoes all the way back to the hotel.<\/p>\n<h2>Useful things to bring to the slopes<\/h2>\n<p><strong>\ud83e\udd6a\u200aSnacks:<\/strong> It\u2019s always nice and practical to have a small cereal bar that can be stored inside the ski jacket<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83e\uddf4\u200aSunscreen &amp; lip balm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83c\udf92\u200aTissues<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200a\ud83d\udcb6\u200aMoney<\/strong> for the lunch break in one of the lovely ski huts<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2705\u200acheckyeti tip for Kids:<\/strong> Losing a glove happens quicker than you think, which is why it\u2019s always a good idea to bring an extra pair of gloves. Parents should also write their contact details or the address of their accommodation on, at best, a laminated piece of paper and put it in their child\u2019s jacket.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are only a few days left before you leave for your family ski trip and you\u2019re not sure whether you\u2019ve really packed everything you need for your, or your child\u2019s ski lesson?
