The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Suggest you consider asking on DCSki. Lots of knowledgeable and helpful guys over there who are parents or grandparents with Snowshoe ski school experience.

For a first ski experience for tweens, I would book 2 days with a gap in the middle. Get the kids off to a good start on Day 1. Play around with them as much as they want on Day 2. Then they can build on whatever they learned so far on Day 3. Goal is always to leave when they aren't quite ready so that they are primed for the next trip. Even if that means a shorter day on one or more days.
