Poster: A snowHead
|
I have booked a week in Bansko from 19th Feb and this will be our first time to this resort. We are a family with 4 children (41/2,6,8,10yrs).
Does anybody have advice on ski school for my youngest? She is 4 1/2 years old and had group ski lessons last year in France. She is confident on green/blue slops and can use a drag lift.
Most companies offering group tuition seem to require the child to be at least 6 years old and suggest we put her into the "Kindergarten". I get the impression they won't do much skiing at Kindergarten from chatting to a friend who visited last year (no children).
So the questions I have are:
1) Can anybody recommend a company which might be prepared to take a 4 1/2 into a ski class?
2) Does anybody have any experiences with the Kindergarten?
Also recommendations for equipment hire would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I think Bansko SkiMania will take your youngest in group lessons, the "official" ski school run by the lift company (I think), will only take children from 7 yrs. We got private lessons for our (then) 5 yr old a few yrs back, as lessons were so cheap and it seemed well worth the spend.

Hi Layne
Many thanks for your reply helpful reply. I did email a few places who all recommended kindergarten, but the one you found looked quite good from the website.. I've emailed them and will see what they say. And will keep looking around.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Hi Babs
I emailed Lance from BanksoBlog.com who seems to be affiliated with Skimania. He suggested kindergarten or possibly some private lessons.. I might try them directly and see if I get a different response.
Thanks

just back from Bansko. used ski mania for ski rental and lessons . Couldn,t recomend them highly enough,
me being a nightmare , always late for lessons, they always sorted me an instructor. if the lesson started late it finished late. they did have some children but not sure of age. drop them an e mail and ask the question. the biggest problem with ulen are large groups.
