re: new to skiing-pamps

im sure youll have a fab time in pamps,might say you will find your 7 yr old will want to join the group for skiing ans the kids in kindergarden are usually at the lower ages and he may be bored.Its not a worry he can always ski, the ice rink is brill and im sure will be a winner with the kids.
Have fun

how much do you think would cost locally to transfer from kindergarten to ski school, also can we do this, we are all currently having ski lesons once a week

you can transfer, you would just need to ask your rep , best thing to do is see how he gets on first.Are you in a learn to ski group or are you having tuition privately if its only once week?

What i would say is that if the boys are strong and learning to ski well you should definately ask to have a group together, you may find you can join a group with another family who wont mind taking it a little slower, saying that though there was a little boy a few years ago 4 at the time who had private lessons and then joined a group with his mom, he was better than the grup and skis black now, last year learnt how to board.Rule of thumb, just listen to the kids , dont worry you can ...

Would not worry about the kids. If they become too good for kindergarten they will be able to transfer to a group and will soon be wizzing past you down the mountain.
