1. Where to go?
With very young children and toddlers it is worth finding a resort with minimal transfer times. Some resorts can have a 3 or 4 hour transfer time on a coach from the airport, which many small children (or parents) cannot cope with. Consider Austrian resorts such a Kaprun, Bad Gastein and Kitzbuhel which are near to Salzberg Airport or French resorts such as Flaine or Morzine, which are close to Geneva airport. Older children may survive the longer journeys so you will have a larger selection of resorts
2. Top Family Friendly Destinations to consider:
· Valmorel, France
· Flaine, France
· Borovetz, Bulgaria
· Rauris, Austria
· Galtur, Austria
· Saas-Fee, Switzerland
3. When to go?
Easter ski holidays are a lovely time to go, the Easter break is earlier this season (2010), with most schools finishing on Thursday 1st April 2010. The days are longer and warmer and although it is more expensive than non-school holiday weeks it is considerably cheaper than the half-term break in February. But you must consider that warmer weather means higher snow lines and so snow consistency may not be as good as mid-winter, so make sure you go to a high altitude snow-sure resort. Good late season resorts worth considering are Tignes and Valmorel, France, Yllas, Finland, Obergurgl, Austria, Saas-Fee, Switzerland. At least you'll be able to ski back to the resort and the nursery slopes won't be a lovely green field.
4. What to pack?
Firstly, when skiing with small children training aides such as the Ski Trainer & Ski Tip Connector, are very helpful. The harness allows them to ski in front of you but you control the speed. They are suitable from 2-8 yrs & can help older children when tackling harder pistes. The ski tip clip keeps their skis in the snowplough position. Plastic toddler skis are great before they start ski school. Just let your child have fun in the snow with them, building up confidence and enjoying learning how to balance and walk. Some do's and don'ts to consider:
DO
· buy a childrens ski helmet with adjustable sizing to ensure they last a few years and you can be sure that the helmet has not been damaged in any way unlike hired helmets.
· buy quality waterproof children's ski jackets with taped seams to ensure no water gets in, water resistant cheap ski gear will let the snow soak in!
· buy thin layers rather than bulky clothing. It is well accepted that a layering system of childrens ski thermals (if v cold), t-shirts and micro fleeces are more effective at controlling temperatures and easy to remove if your child gets too hot.
· consider a small back pack (must be small so easy to get on ski lifts) so your child can take small sweets, drinks, money & your phone number as they will get hot and tired in ski school.
· look for gloves with elastic loops to go round wrists or cords to attach through the jacket, so many gloves get lost on the ski lifts
DON'T
· skimp on ski goggles, invest in a pair that have a double lens to prevent fogging and that will last a few years & consider over-the-glasses (OTG) goggles if your child wears glasses
· forget a second pair of gloves - if your child loves snowball fights after ski school a second pair drying back at the hotel for the next day will be vital!
· forget sun protection, choose an 8 hr sports cream that you can apply in the morning and your child is protected all day
· don't don't buy cheap ski socks, look for technical ski socks that are fitted to the heal and wick moisture away, blisters and children do not mix!

If you enjoy skiing, purchasing the best ski gloves will immeasurably add to the pleasure of your skiing activities. Purchasing bad quality gloves will inevitably lead to such a dreadful experience that you will be heading home much sooner that planned. Buying the best does, however, not necessarily mean buying the most expensive pair of gloves.
Water Proof. The most difficult challenge faced by ski glove manufacturers is to make gloves that are waterproof while at the same time allow sweat to escape. Not all manufacturers have mastered this challenge. Many gloves on the market will keep your hands dry, but will also trap sweat inside. Once you take a break or get on the ski lift, the sweat will cool down and cause an icy cold sensation inside the gloves.
When buying ski gloves you should therefore make 100% sure that they will in fact be waterproof. A label that simply states they are 'water resistant' is not good enough. A pair of oven gloves is water resistant as well. Discuss the material the gloves are made of with the sales assistant. There are many popular types of material that reaches this objective quite admirably. Gore-Tex is only one example ' there are many other types that also do the job well.
Warmth. Ski gloves should of course keep your hands warm. The material used to insulate the gloves should be of a high quality and not allow your body heat to escape. You also get ski gloves with removable layers so that you can add or remove layers when you are in a very cold or slightly warmer environment.
Something else that is also very important is the type of material to used for the inside area of the gloves. This will determine whether the gloves offer decent grip while not restricting moving unduly. It's useless to buy gloves that are so thickly padded or rubbery that you can grab a lion by its teeth, but you can't even bend your fingers or feel when you are touching anything. Manufacturers often use leather for these area, but there are many great quality gloves available that use synthetic material.
Closure system. Another important aspect is the closure system that has been used on the glove's cuffs. Velcro is a popular material for this, while many manufacturers prefer wrist straps. Durability is of the utmost importance here ' once you can no longer close the gloves they will become unusable.
Style. Of course style is important when considering which gloves to buy. There are certainly many flashy gloves out there with neon colors that says "I'm a great skier". There are also many other designs which feature more elegant two-tone color combinations and stylish leather inserts.

Trouble for the competition. Our pro athletes ask for cargo pockets and belt loops, so here they are.
The sport of telemark skiing is an interesting hybrid of cross-country skiing and downhill skiing. Telemark skiers can usually be found on the slopes, heading up the chairlifts and down the hills just like downhill skiers. However, the manner in which they come down the hills, and the equipment they use to do so, is much more similar to cross-country skiing. Unlike downhill ski boots, the boots of a telemark skier are attached to the skis only at the toes, just like those of a cross-country skier. It is this manner of binding and the skiing style it dictates that makes telemark skiers so easy to pick out on the slopes.
When a downhill skier wants to carve a turn, all he or she has to do is exert pressure on the edges of his or her skis. Because downhill ski boots are firmly attached to skis from toe to heel, the skier's energy is easily transferred to the skis. However, making a turn in telemark skis is a little more difficult. As mentioned, telemark ski boots are attached to the skis only at the toes. To turn, the telemark skier must accomplish two things at once: the foot on the downhill ski must remain flat and the leg straight, while foot on the uphill ski must go up on the toes, allowing the skier to bend that leg at the knee. This position allows the skier to effectively transfer his or her energy to the skis and control the turn.
Telemark skiing boots usually feature a "duckbill," an extra piece of plastic at the toes of the boots that interface with the skis' bindings. There are several different kinds of telemark ski bindings, each of which has different characteristics. Three-pin bindings are the most traditional version. Such devices have three pins pointing up from the skis that correspond to holes in the duckbills of telemark skiing boots. The duckbills are simply placed on top of the bindings and then secured in place with a locking mechanism called a "bale." This method is exactly the same as that used by cross-country ski bindings, which allows skiers to cover a wide range of territories.
Cable bindings have spring-loaded cables that hold the boots to the skis. The duckbills of the boots fit into sockets, but unlike three-pin bindings, cable bindings have no pins. The cables of these types of bindings stretch around the heels of the boots. Cable bindings are popular because they restrain the heel better during turns, allowing the skier better control. However, they are heavier and make it more difficult for the skier to flex his or her boots. This means that cable bindings are less suitable for cross-country skiing, as opposed to three-pin bindings.
Lastly, hinged plate bindings actually allow the skier to essentially switch back and forth between traditional and cable bindings. "Free pivot" mode allows the heels of the boots to remain free, mimicking the control level to three-pin bindings. But "downhill mode" increases the cable tension on the boots, keeping them closer to the skis and allowing the skier more control.
