- Borrow ski kit or buy it second hand if you can.
- Warm thermals and good ski socks are essential, also a hooded snood is perfect to keep little ones necks warm and to wear with a hired helmet.
- Choose a resort that doesn't have a long transfer from the airport with good easily accessible nursery slopes.
- Take travel sickness medication, wet wipes and steal the sick bag from the seat pocket on the flight. If you have a coach transfer to your resort up winding mountain roads you need to be prepared.
- Investigate ski schools and book them in advance where necessary (especially in France). You also probably want to ensure that you have enough time to have a decent ski between drop off and pick up
- If possible hire ski equipment in advance of your arrival
- Check that ski school is not too difficult to get to from your accommodation
- You can never have too many snacks and treats to put in ski jacket pockets - mini packets of Haribo are perfect
- Leave plenty of time to get ready in the morning as it always takes longer than you think and someone always forgets their gloves, and definitely insist on a visit to the loo before the salopettes go on
