All being well we're hoping to go skiing this season.

It will be my childrens first time. They are 5 and 2 so only 5 year old will actually be skiing.

What kit do they actually need? I don't want to go ott and buy stuff that they are going to grow out of quickly as we may or may not go annually.

  • how many pairs of ski socks
  • would you hire a helmet? Would it be ridiculous to take along their scooter/bike helmets instead?
  • do they need own goggles or can we hire?
  • how many thermals?
  • they already have waterproof mittens - assuming these will be fine even for skiing one?
  • what are the best boots for them to wear to walk around?

Basically - can you tell me what you dress them
in from top to toe and quantities of each item 😂

I'm not a great judge because I'm such a hot and sweaty skier that even in January I will only wear thermals, salopettes and a jacket but obviously kids get so much chillier.

Thank you!

Probably too late for you but when my kids were that wee we had some great salopettes from Columbia which zipped right off so you could change a nappy without totally undressing them.
