Skiing & Snowboarding Helpful Hints

Clothing

Students will learn more if they are warm and dry. We recommend dressing in layers with at least the following gear:

• Water repellant jacket
• Thermal underwear and water repellent snow pants
• Wool or synthetic socks
• Waterproof, insulated gloves or mittens
• Neck gaiter
• Hat
• Goggles
• Helmet

As a �Just in case� precaution, we suggest labeling all clothing which children may be taking off.

Equipment

You can rent everything you need at Mountain Flowers Lodge or bring your own. We caution you against using equipment that is not well matched to your personal needs or is in poor condition. And we encourage you to be sure that your boots fit properly as that makes not only for better performance but also for a much more enjoyable experience.

About Your Children

We ask that you understand:

• A full day on the slopes is a lot for many younger children. You may wish to start with a half-day program.
• Children learn at a different rate�and that�s okay!
• Our instructors may decide to give their group an indoor break.

We also ask that you watch with joy and that you encourage your children to gain a true love for these healthy, out-of-door winter activities.
