Baby Snow Retreat was lucky enough to be given some toddler ski’s from our friends at Ski Higher<\/a>\u00a0earlier in the season.\u00a0She had started putting them on and playing with them inside our apartment, so we thought we should give\u00a0her the opportunity to see what they were really designed for. To make sure she had the right start we hooked up with our friend Jon from Sweet Snow sports<\/a> to give her her first sliding experience. Jon has oodles of experience teaching both\u00a0chalet guests\u00a0and trainee instructors but, more importantly, he has a hedgehog puppet called Harry.\u00a0So with Harry convenietly stashed in Jon’s jacket we\u00a0headed off to the magic carpet at the top of the La Tania gondola, an ideal place for little ones to have their first slide whether its on a sledge or skis.<\/p>\n

To make life a little easier, Jon attached a Wedgease<\/a> to the front of the skis to keep the tips close, but stop them crossing over. \u00a0Then it was time to hop on the magic carpet (much like a travelator in an aiport) and then weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee………………..<\/p>\n
