For all those anxious parents (including us!) about to send their precious child off on their first school ski trip this half term, FamilySkiNews.com has produced the definitive guide specifically to help parents and their children in preparing for a school skiing trip.  You can find it right here.  As well as a clothing list, it also covers such topics as documentation, insurance, medicines and communications – all for your peace of mind.

Novices may also find our First-time skier packing guide useful.

Dear parents – do try not to worry too much!  The kids are about to have the time of their lives, and the snow conditions are perfect.  Just make sure they wrap up warm for the chilly temperatures we’re experiencing in the Alps at the moment.
