Skiing with Toddlers

Remember to put sunscreen on your child before you head out for a day in the snow.  The UV rays are really strong up on the mountain, and the snow reflects everything.  It is very easy to burn.


Bring chapstick.  Make your toddler put some on, even if they don't like it (this is from hard-learned experience).  


Make sure your toddler wears goggles or sunglasses.  The sun is bright.  The snow reflects everything.  This is true year round, but especially important when spring skiing.


One more tip -- Our son's ski teacher, Chris McCarthy, said that eating potassium rich bananas prevent cramping from skiing.
