Welcome to the thrilling world of snowsports with your family, where the crisp mountain air and powdery slopes create the perfect canvas for unforgettable family memories. If you're planning to hit the slopes with your little ones, ensuring they have the right gear is crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience.
Our partners over at Real Snowboarding has plenty of professional experience teaching kids to ride, and shared with us a few tips for taking your kids to the mountains: "We love teaching kids, but being in the mountains all day is tough on little legs, there is so much excitement around, so a top tip to keep your little ones going for the days is to pack snacks!
Snowboarding is as much about riding as it is about chilling - take a minute to chill with the wee ones and take in the mountains and refuel.
Also - be prepared - good goggles, good gloves and good fitting equipment. Nothing worse than fogged goggles, wet hands and trying to snowboard on a door!"
As your go-to online snowsports retailer, we've compiled a list of the top 10 essentials that will make your kids' skiing or snowboarding adventure a breeze.
1. Quality Kids' Snowsuit
Investing in high-quality kids' outerwear is the first step to ensuring your little snow enthusiasts stay warm and dry on the mountain. Our selection boasts waterproof and breathable materials, ensuring maximum comfort while they conquer the slopes. Some kids prefer the one-piece suits, but as they get older they may prefer separate jacket and pants or bib pants.
