Hello.

Has anyone been skiing with a 3yo boy and a 5yo girl?

If so, wondered if full salopettes and ski jacket are needed or if warm winter clothes/waterproofs sufficed?

If full skiwear is needed, does anyone have any recommendations?


I've put an advert on the classifieds for second hand skiwear but then thought i'd ask from those that have been before.


I'll buy clothes if i have to, but given we're unlikely to go until next year we'll probably only get one use out of them!


thanks in advance, all

Hi, i would go for salopettes combined with your kids' winter jackets. For salopettes I would try H&M (Swedish brand - they do ski gear for kids - ?20 for salopettes and if you buy a size too big they can have them next year too!) or maybe Try Decathlon in Surrey Keyes. i think waterproofs (even though they of course would wear stuff underneath) would get a bit cold. A good pair of mittens to keep wetness and cold away is a must too!

Hi


i would def go for salopettes preferably with the braces and higher backs or you will end up with a lot of tears from cold children with snow everywhere and good quality mittens (rather than gloves - much easier to get on and off. I also put my kids in thermals top and bottom and goggles as it can get very cold and windy sitting on lifts etc. Do you have boys or girls? I would prob have some bits from last year that would fit your 3 year old but they are for girls.

thanks all, some good tips here.

The 3yo is a boy unfortunately. Appreciate the offer though.

Think we'll just do a weekend trip to Decathalon. By the looks of it I should be able to kit them out relatively cheaply.

Now fingers crossed they'll enjoy the lessons..wouldn't want to put them off!

You may already have what you need by now, but I've got an all in one navy blue snowsuit which my son wore skiing when he was 3 and 4 years old. It's very stylish, in perfect nick, unisex, very warm, and super easy to get on and off. I'd sell it for ?20


I also have some navy blue snow boots, size 2. Might be too big for your son but might fit your daughter? ?5 for those...


Let me know if either are of interest. Photos attached

    • For Plusnet, I pay £31.99 for Full Fibre 500.  (the number is the line speed you have paid for) I have recently recontracted.  Always phone them up, and ask what deal they can do for me.  Usually get a decent reduction.  Sue, I would suggest you call them, especially if you are close to contract renewal.  Sometimes they will change deals mid-contract, as I have found in the past.      
    • The drivers generally have the same set area to cover every day, so they're fairly easy to follow - quite often on bike. They organise their drops to maximise how many they can do within a given time - there's actually software at the depot to do this before they set off - so they tend to follow the same route. Certain addresses are delivery hotspots, some have two or three drops a day from the various couriers. It all adds up doorstep deliveries being incredibly easy to target. I suspect Vladi's neighbour hasn't had their fake parcel nicked, not because of their security, but because the thief simply wouldn't have seen the driver stop there, so there's nothing to steal. The losses are factored in, driving prices up for everyone, and the drivers are treated abysmally. It's a dreadful business. It needs regulating.   Sorry, cross post with Angelina and Alec1
    • Amazon seem to do this more and more now.  They don't even ring the doorbell, just leave them lying on the door step, then you find out it's been delivered when you check tracking.  The official Amazon vans are frequently followed on their routes by thieves and take the opportunities freely given.
