Come on to snowboard with your kids
That said, dads and moms often play snow sports for the first time in a while.So what should we prepare for?
Plan your trip
In the olden days, ski trips started with friends.By the way, when it comes to going with a family, the selfishness is completely different.This is something that many people have already experienced, so here are some points to consider when going on a ski trip with your family.
A day trip?Stay overnight?
If there is a small slope nearby, there is no need to force a trip involving accommodation.Rather, it is important to improve your snowboarding by making friends with local instructors as if you were going to a nearby facility.However, if there is no slope nearby, this is inevitably a stay.The reason is very simple.This is because the travel time is inevitably long, and the actual time spent on the snow is shortened.
If you need more than 3 hours to travel by car or public transport, it seems better to plan your stay.
Which ski resort?
Even if you are not skiing, moms are the most burdensome on family trips.Next are the children, and finally the dad.This means that even if you are accustomed to physical fitness and movement, your mom's work will inevitably increase.
Knowing this, of course, makes the destination easier and more enjoyable for moms and children.Yes, the cheap ski trips I used to use when I was a student are sure to be disastrous on my way home.
So what is the easiest and most enjoyable place for moms and children?
It's not a very large facility, but a place where private life is solid.
Where childcare services can be used in the event of an emergency.
A place where services for children are substantial in all of meals, stays, and snowboarding.
Where mom's whereabouts are.
Where the weather is calm.
Information on resorts and ski resorts that meet these factors is not clear in guidebooks.
You can also look up word-of-mouth information or take the plunge and ask questions on SNS services.
Snowboard preparation
Well, all the destinations and arrangements have been completed.Next is the preparation for snowboarding.
First of all, about children's tools.
It is recommended to rent all the clothes and boards.However, there are some items that are difficult to rent, so you need to prepare them in advance or purchase them locally.
Items not available for rental
* Gloves
* Knit hat
* Goggles (less needed at the beginning)
Let's prepare these three in advance.In particular, choose gloves that are easy to put on and take off, rather than buying special gloves.
Why are you renting?
As you all know, children are growing fast.Even if you buy full-fledged tools one by one, they may become unusable as your body grows in the middle of the season.Rental is enough for the first season.It's not too late to buy after you've finally gone on a lot of snowboard trips during the season.
Before going to the ski resort
Make sure your children take lessons.For that purpose, some places make convenient advance reservations, so we recommend that you make use of them.Above all, it is safe to keep a good teacher and tools that are perfect for children before departure.
When you arrive at the ski resort
Go to the school you reserved and complete the enrollment procedure.Help me rent and change clothes, and I'm ready to go.
At some schools that offer excellent service, everything from rental to installation of tools can be prepared perfectly just by stopping at the school counter, so be sure to check it out!is.
School start
Farewell to the children for a while.Let's leave the rest to a teacher who is a professional in snow play.At first, the lessons using snowboarding do not start suddenly, so it may be anxious for those who are watching, but this is also due to the lesson plan that was conceived.First, get the feeling of playing with snow, and then gradually get used to the tool called snowboarding.In the process, children will show us various expressions using snow, so I'm looking forward to this area.Oh yeah, don't forget that this stage is the most interesting when shooting with a camera.
School end
Children return to school with the teacher.At this moment, the children are almost always overjoyed at the sense of fulfillment.
While the children are reluctant to say goodbye to the teacher, be sure to ask the teacher about the progress of today's lesson.If the school has good service, there are services such as lesson progress charts for children and achievement cards, which will be very useful the next time you take lessons.Another thing I'm curious about is what level my child is at compared to other children.The teacher in charge of the lesson understands this area very well, so let's listen to the raw information.
Children and snowboards
Children who have been in school once become surprisingly familiar with snowboarding.
If you are a child who wears bindings quickly, you may want to do it yourself and dislike the thick service of your parents.Anyway, parents also took a close look at the lessons, and what level did the children reach?You also need to know what kind of practice is good.
At first, it's just a review of school lessons, but eventually the children start to grow and take on new challenges.It is a big point to proceed to the next lesson at that timing.
Always go snowboarding twice during the season
A one-time snowboard trip will be a very important memory for the whole family.But when you think about the next season, it's ridiculously ahead.For children, once they get used to the snow, we recommend the next snowboard trip while the feeling is fresh.The spring resort at the end of the season is also pretty good.
