Ski Kindergarten

I am to take my family to Pamps for their first time this season.
I have skied at Pamps alone on a number of times.
This time my wife and 6 year old will be with me
However I am a little concerned for muy child as I do not want her to feel abandoned !
Can anybody tell me how the kindergarten works when both parents are in their classes?
Also would it be possible for quite a mature six year old (who can roller skate ok) to join her mother in a learn to ski class?

We went to Pamporovo March 04, my son who was almost 7 joined my daughter and myself in ski school. He had skied twice before. We enquired with our rep and paid for his ski school via our rep. It was not expensive. We had paid for two adult full ski packs before we went which entitled you to either a free lift pass or kindergarten. We choose the lift pass hoping to book ski school for him. Check with your rep when you arrive. I don't see that it would be any different. We travelled with ...

re: Ski Kindergarten

Under 7's don't need lift passes in Pamps. I found that out last year. I have seen under 7's with ski instructors I asked an instructor last year about teaching our 6 year old daughter and she told me that the 6 year old she had in her class was only allowed in because he could ski. We got a free kindergarten place for our daughter when booking but after she hadn't skied for 2 days with them we arranged private lessons but still collected her gear from the ski depot. We swapped ' shifts' ...

We swapped ' shifts' with our ski group and joined up after lessons.

re: Ski Kindergarten

Dave Cranski,
Thanks for your reply ,however I am a bit concerned as my child wants to try skiing ,if after two days in the kindergarten the children have not skied then just what have they done?
I too have secured a free child arrangement for the kindergarten but now I wonder if its just a gimmick?
