The decision to finally attend ski courses
As someone who has spent countless hours teaching my children to swim and cycle, I also wanted to teach my children to ski. It is immensely rewarding to patiently guide a child through the nuances of a new activity and to experience this turning point firsthand.
However, skiing presented a number of new challenges: it required equipment, lift tickets and, of course, a decent slope. In addition, there was a risk that if we spent the equipment, we would be left with the buyer's remorse if the children did not go skiing.
The cost of ski lessons
For our four-year-old daughter, a half-day ski school will cost us back 225. Not scandalous, considering that it included all the equipment, a lift ticket and three hours of expert lessons.
We would also have enrolled our son in a half-day session, but, unfortunately, the ski school offers only full-day programs for children from 5 years old, which run from 9 to 3 am. The price? A hefty 3 356.21, which included everything from equipment rental to lift tickets.
In total, we coughed up a whopping $581.21 - a princely sum in every way. Oddly enough, however, I did not feel the sting of the payment as sharply as I expected from someone on a budget. The seamless drop-off process, the warmth of the staff, and the pure joy on our children's faces made every penny worth it.
The FIRST ski course offers maximum return
The FIRST ski course provided the greatest return on investment when our children went from never skiing to mastering basic turns-an achievement that exceeded our expectations. Our ski instructor also took our son on an afternoon adventure,a gondola ride and the green slopes of Mountain Meado Nevrbs.
Thanks to the fact that it was a quiet Tuesday, the ski school was not lively.
Originally, our son's class consisted of six children during the morning magic carpet session. In the afternoon, three children had got out, and one had ventured on another trip with her parents, leaving only two children and the instructor behind.
It almost felt like a private lesson ($ 600 for up to four people, without equipment and lift ticket), especially with the trio, which fits perfectly in the chairlift and allows the instructor to witness the disassembly.
Another reason why the $581.27 investment in ski lessons was not biting was that our daughter had an absolute blowout. Although he was completely exhausted after three hours and showed a sad face at the pick-up, he after declared three times after a nap "the ski school is the best" and radiated a joy that only a child can bring. As a parent, it is invaluable to experience such happiness.
Ultimate Ski School benefits: Childcare
The ultimate advantage of the ski school is the freedom it offers to parents. Without children's help during the holidays, the holidays can sometimes be tiring for parents of young children. The ski school offers a 3-6-hour break that parents can enjoy.
