Christmas is coming and now we are starting to freak out that we need to sort out what to purchase for those we love. If they are madly in love with skiing or boarding, now that in the Northern Hemisphere is getting cold, what better idea than purchasing something snow/ski/boarding related?

Here are some things I am coming up with that I would not mind myself as my own presents, so I hope you could shop for those you love, or if not, get something for yourself- because at the end of the day, you are worth it!

Cushions: I insist on them and bought four – they are not the cheapest, but they are lovely, these cushions of dog skiers to decorate your ski pad (or your home in the city, just to think about the mountains) – There are lots of different models, from Etsy.

I have been sorting our ski gear today, measuring my kids pants and seeing if their ski boots where still ok for their feet, and doing some adjustments on them. This is the third season on the same boots and I just have to change the settings on the boots of my youngest to the third position, whereas my eldest still is in the same setting. I am thinking that he has been skiing with big boots for some seasons now! They seem to be ok, and he still have four settings to change in his Roces boots…. Here is a post of the Roces boots if you want to read more on them.

But while looking at my boxes where I put away all our ski gear and clothing, I’ve found some things that I really used over the years.

Here is a list of them and how they can be of use for you on this coming season.

The Roces ski boots of my kids just needed a bit of setting adjustment and now we are ready for a new ski season. Ozzy was overlooking the grand tasks! 7 things that can help you when taking kids skiing.

  • Walkie Talkies- A good pair of walkie talkies stuffed inside a sock and guarded into an interior pocket of your jacket is great for communicating with kids. You need to keep the walkie talkies warm, because the battery can die quickly when it is cold. They are great to communicate with your kids, or from kid to kid when they are having some time off, maybe not the best if skiing down at speed I would say- same restrictions should apply as those for driving and using a mobile phone- basically, don’t use them while skiing!
