Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Dry slope for kids?
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

We've just come back from our last trip of the season and our daughter (3.5 years old) seems to be making good progress (private lessons in Poland were about £19.50 per hour btw Happy

The instructor took her on the 'big lift' (chairlift) and she loved it, which was really positive!

So...she seems to love skiing and can't wait to go back, with that in mind, she'll be 4 over the summer and Brentwood Dry Slope do a mini course for 4+ I think, so would it be a good idea to get some lessons so she doesn't forget...or could a dry slope put her off as its not as fun as snow?

Hemel is a pain to get to, but Brentwood is pretty easy, hence the former isn't really an option!

I take my kids to Southampton and they love it...... Although I tried it for the first time the other day. I tried it on a snowboard first, I'm not a bad snowboarder...... But I had to change to skis as the whole feel was completely different to snow.
That said, I did find it a lot easier when I switched to skis.
So in summary, my kids look forward to using it...... As for me, I'm happy to watch them have fun.

Kids don't need as much grip from whatever surface they are skiing on as adults, so a dry slope won't feel very different to snow for a 3.5yo.

Since she's already discovered the joys of skiing, the dry slope is highly unlikely to put her off. It's just a case of minor adaptation, fun is still readily possible on the dry. Go for it, like many before you!

@vjmehra, the Brentwood Saturday morning kids sessions are well taught and good fun, as well as eventually being a feeder into the afternoon race club sessions. I think you can do a trial session if you want to see.
