Vlog: Travelling and skiing with kids and family
🇪🇪 🇫🇮 Follow me to my next skiing trip. This time to the Tartu Maraton 2023 in Estonia and a week later, to the Finlandia Hiihto. The special thing about this journey is, that this time, my family is joining me. Is travelling and skiing with kids working? 👨👩👧
👧 2,5 year old daughter is skiing for the first time and participating in her first international “skimarathon”, the Tartu Maraton kids race 👉 https://tartumaraton.ee/en/tartu-mara…
❄️ Later I am skiing the Tartu Maraton on my own and I had such a great time out there, when just right for the start a snow storm hit the region.
🧊 For recovery, on the next morning, locals took me to an ice bath in the nearby river.
❗️At the end of the video you will find our first learnings from skiing around the world together with family.
What’s the right clothing for my kid?
- Get gloves that are long enough. At least they should reach half of the arm of the kid. Otherwise it slips out of the ski suit all the time.
- Get boots for the kid without plastic parts. Plastic is cold. Other waterproof fabric and a warm inside lining is mandatory: Cold feet, means cold kid.
- As neck warmer you can use the normal adults’ buffs you have anyway. Works for your kid too.
- Use a onesie ski suit, not two parts. It stores the body head better.
- Get merino wool underwear. It’s magic.
- And don’t forget sunglasses. Specially in combination with snow, sun becomes very aggressive and you want to protect your kid’s eyes.
