Children and Ski Lessons

Have you ever watched children playing in schoolyard?

Watch them play "King of the hill" on a snow mount!

No one is teaching them this or that technique, yet watch carefully you will see how each child has his/her technique to get to top and hold it!

Watch again as one person does not succeed to get to top, how his/her technique will change!
No adults to tell them what to do!

Part of growing up and learning is to develop learning techniques! Not to be taught techniques,(that will come later) but to develop ways to get what you want!

Children are great at that, as all parents know1.

So it is with skiing.

Just give basic survival "tricks", then let kids alone to have fun. Adults ruin the fun with; put your hand this way, lean front, keep inside edges with 70% pressure m while rotating left ear that way. Blah blah blah!

Let them have fun while skiing!

If you ski well they will ski well since 80% of early learning is done by "modeling" That is why your young boy walks like dad!

So if you want to teach your kids how to ski properly,,,YOU take lessons first!!!!!
