Hi,
   In this months newsletter we take a look at skiing with your baby or toddler with an article written by family ski experts "Ski Famille".

Skiing with young children may seem a daunting prospect, but don’t be put off. Families who take the plunge say a ski holiday can be a huge success.

The key is to follow three basic rules:

• Make sure your resort is only a short distance from the airport
• Choose a resort that’s family friendly
• Make sure you arrange good quality childcare if your children are too young to ski all day

It may seem common sense but it’s surprising how many people ignore these basics according to family specialist Ski Famille; “‘We’ve heard too many stories of people enduring four hour transfers to stay in a chalet mixing up families with all adult groups and then having to traipse through the snow every morning to a disappointing local crèche,’ says the company’s Chris Thompson.

It doesn’t have to be like that. With good planning thousands of families enjoy ski holidays year after year. Specialist operators are a good starting point. They usually offer a childcare service and family friendly accommodation.

Other factors to bear in mind are ski school arrangements for children. The availability of English speaking instruction will make children more relaxed and enable them to advance far more quickly. If you are travelling with a tour operator you should check that they provide a ski school drop off and pick up service as part of their childcare package. If they don’t it could mean frustrating interruptions to your skiing day.
