Very little first hand experience, but a few things picked up from friends:
- Keep it fun, don't push learning technique too hard too early
- Keep it short, better to end wanting more than in tears

Is there a ski school near you? My 5 year old daughter just completed her course and she loved it

Anyone here got any tips on how to teach kids to ski? Went to our local slope with our 7yo yesterday and had an hour of falling, crying and a twisted leg (nothing serious, but enough to call it a day). She was super amped getting there but we drove home beaten.
I should add that the snow was shit last night. We've had few weeks of low temps so they've let the snow cannons work. Then a few days of +5, then a drop to -5 so it was super hard packed, icy and frankly hard to ski.
