If you are planning to travel in the half term to the Alps, for sure you are now pretty prepared. Here I want to show you a couple of things that will make your family half term ski holiday easier, more if travelling with younger kids. They can help you while trying to drag your kids from the parking lot to the lifts and make your family ski experience easier.

I know that getting young kids in the slopes is difficult. Most of the people that do this, is because they are skiers or boarders themselves (all that new generation of boarders is thanks to their parents starting the sport some years ago, which keeps the sport alive!)

If so, you already go skiing, and you know how to pack! But sometimes, we forget what it was skiing when young, more, because one had not dealt with any of the preparations.

Here are some things that might help your next family ski trip to the mountains:

Warm hats – Always, remember to have a couple of warm hats. Even though kids need to use helmets by law (at least in all places I know), in very cold days, you can put a beanie that is not bulky under the hat to keep their heads warm.

And it never hurts having a couple of hats just in case your kid decides to roll on the snow in the afternoon and you need to get their little heads warm for venturing out for dinner.
