Children should take lessons from a certified skiing or snowboarding instructor. Be mindful that a child’s coordination is not fully developed until 10 years of age.
Equipment should be checked every year for proper fit and condition. Bindings should be checked annually by a qualified technician.
Children should always wear a helmet with side vents so they can hear. Earphones should never be worn when skiing or snowboarding.
Children should watch for other skiers, snowboarders, and other obstacles on the slopes.
Wrist guards should be worn when snowboarding to reduce the risk of wrist injuries.
Goggles should be worn to protect eyes from bright sunlight and objects, like tree branches.
Young children should never ski or snowboard alone.
Children should always control their speed when skiing or snowboarding. Many injuries result from losing control. Stunts and fatigue can also lead to injuries.
Icy hills should be avoided. The risk of falls and injuries increases in icy conditions.
Children should always stay in open ski areas and on marked trails.
