Raising a ski family is an art and a science, and SKI and the Professional Ski Instructors of America are here to show you the ins and outs with this in-depth online course taught by two of the country’s best ski instructors (who are also parents). Remember: Just because you love skiing doesn’t mean your kids automatically will. These lessons are essential for any parent or guardian who wants to get their kids geared up, staying warm, and having fun—with as few meltdowns as possible—on the slopes.

This comprehensive course reveals everything you need to know to teach your kids to love skiing. Starting with when to introduce them to the sport, we’ll cover what kind of gear you need and how or when to use it; and how to prepare for ski days, including a packing list. Then we’ll cover teaching cues and progressions for actually sliding on snow, including lessons on using learning tools, taking her first carpet run, riding the chairlift, and more. You’ll learn how to recognize the benchmarks and signs your kids are ready to progress, plus what to do in less-than-ideal scenarios. We’ll even cover how to know when your kids are ready for the next-level skills and might benefit from ski school.

How This Course Works

We know you have a busy schedule, so we’ve designed this course to be taken at your own pace. You’ll learn through a variety of interactive formats, including video instruction, photo descriptions, and more. Each session builds on the last, and, while we’ve designed the course in six parts, you can take it as quickly or as slowly as you want. Plus, once you purchase the course, the lessons are yours forever.
