As long as you are warm @Eve7 then you'll be fine. Sounds like you are ready to go. I really hope that you have a good time away.
I find that the people who don't like the snow are the ones that don't dress appropriately. With the right gear, it doesn't seem that cold.
Just another s**t day in the life of snowie

We once lived in southern NSW in snow country for a couple of years @Snowie and when you have to do everyday life like walk kids to the school bus in sleet or get washing dry it’s a pain. Whenever I’ve gone skiing I’ve usually been hot but living in it is another matter. I prefer the beach in summer!!
Please stay safe my friend. 🩵🩵🩵

I didn't grow up going to the snow @Eve7. Didn't go there until I was about 19. Both kids were about 1 when they first experienced it.
Living in it would be another matter. It would probably be a whole new experience.
I do like summer too. The beach, the river. They go water skiing then!
I'm trying too with not much luck.

Our kids were 5 and 7 when they first went skiing @Snowie but they didn’t go much as adults. My niece’s partner was a winter Olympian and they are very keen to have their little one ski as early as possible.
Can I do anything to help you?

I think like anything @Eve7, if they grow up doing it then it is easier for them as they get older. Thats probably the same with any sport. As an adult learning, it was much harder.
I can't keep up with them, they are too fast and go places where I won't go!
Your family seem very sporty
You are helping hon. I've reached out for help too.

Hey there @Eve7 ,
I wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. I'm mindful that things have been incredibly tough and you had to practice some self-care.
Please know we are thinking about you and hope to see you soon - whenever you are ready.
