Parental Involvement: Fostering a Love for Skiing and Snowboarding ❄️ Parental involvement plays a key role in helping kids develop a love for skiing or snowboarding. By modelling enthusiasm, vulnerability, and persistence, you show that learning a new skill is fun, even when it’s challenging. It’s okay to feel frustrated or fall—laughing at yourself and encouraging your kids to do the same makes the process more enjoyable. Listen to your kids’ feedback. Complaints like “my boots feel weird” could be solved with simple fixes, like adjusting socks. Encourage them to problem-solve, building confidence and independence. Taking lessons yourself demonstrates that there’s always more to learn and reinforces the value of lifelong growth. Balance lessons with free ski time together so kids can proudly show off their new skills. Celebrate their achievements and share your own progress, too! By fostering a positive, encouraging environment, you’ll create lasting memories and a deep family connection to the sport. Ready to get started?

Caring for Your Equipment: A Little Goes a Long Way Proper care of your ski and snowboard equipment ensures better performance, longer lifespan, and safer adventures on the slopes. Here are some simple tips for tuning, travelling, and carrying your gear. Stay Tuned 👇 Regular tuning keeps your equipment in top shape. While professional tuning services are ideal, you can also learn basic techniques through online tutorials. Understanding key components, like edges, bases, and bindings, helps you know when adjustments are needed for better control and safety. Post-ride Maintenance 👇 Simple steps at the end of your ski day make a big difference. Wipe down your skis or snowboard to remove moisture and prevent rust. Always dry them thoroughly before storing them upright in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving equipment in damp garages or snow-covered cars. Safe Travels 👇 Protect your gear with proper bags, padded straps, or covers to prevent dings and scratches when travelling. Learn how to carry your skis or snowboard safely to avoid accidents or injuries to yourself and others. For skis, hold them together with straps and carry them on your shoulder. For snowboards, carry them under your arm with the bindings facing outward. Taking care of your equipment ensures better days on the mountain and keeps you ready for every adventure! #GoSkiingGoSnowboarding #SkiON #RideON Ski Canada | Ski Equipment | Ski Areas | Learn to Ski | Skiing Tips | Travel Canada | Explore Ski Areas
