A dear friend of mine is looking to get her husband and 3 boys skiing finally. She skis some (and her technique is actually decent given how little she has skied as an adult) so she'd like to have them do the Family Private Lesson at Loveland. The boys are almost 9, almost 7 (will be 7 in time for the lesson), and 4. I wish I'd gotten a picture of the 4 year old yesterday when I pulled up to their house on my bike. He was riding his around in a ski helmet and my old goggles that I gifted to mom a couple years ago for the few times she's been skiing. Apparently all 3 boys wear them on a regular basis while riding their bikes.
The issue is that Loveland states that the kids must be 7+ for this program. Oddly, she and I both think that if any of the kids would have a melt down in the situation it's the 7 year old. The 4 year old bombs anything on a bike with seemingly no fear. Anything to follow his older brothers. He has managed to scare the crap out of me a time or two while watching him.
For the life of me I can't figure out why, if the child is emotionally and physically ready, they won't allow younger kids to participate. Any ideas? It's too early in the season for us to call the office so I thought I'd throw it out here for pondering. Anyone connected enough with LL's ski school to know if they ever make exceptions?
