But shouldn't kids go to "ski school?" That depends on the child. As with adult lessons there really isn't any comparison with the fast progress available with one on one private instruction compared to group lessons. However if the child makes friends easily and works well in a group environment then "kids ski school" may be desirable. I encourage parents that it is far more important that a child enjoys the skiing and mountain experience than that he or she progresses rapidly in their skiing skills. If that means enjoying skiing with a large group of kids their own age in exchange for more focused one on one instruction of private ski lessons then I support it. The goal is for the child to develop a lifetime love of the sport. For more information see "Your Children" at www.thesnowpros.com, another web site. In children's group ski lessons, children are grouped by age (3 yr olds, 4-6 yr olds and 7-12 yr olds) and ability level. Children's group lessons are targeted to have kids on snow from 10am to 12pm, an hour lunch break then back on snow from 1pm to 3pm. During peak times such as Christmas week, President's week and spring break weeks the sheer number of kids enrolled can be quite large so starting times can be delayed. When group sizes are large, individual, one on one teaching is not prevalent. However, the Telluride Ski and Snowboard School's children's group instructors are masters of meeting kids needs, managing group dynamics and making the day fun even with large groups of a dozen or more.
