We went at the start of July with DS who was 13 months at the time. We were with a big group, so the first day I skied and the second day DH did. DS hated the snow - it was cold and he couldn't understand why it would be fun! We hung out in the cafe (at Turoa there is an upstairs cafe which was quiet so he could run around) and he slept in the pram. I took him up the chair lift and he was petrified to start with, but by the time we came back down he was enjoying himself. We were pretty much the only ones there with a baby younger than 2.]]> Fri, 29 Jul 2011 13:46:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40030&PID=1368896&title=babies-on-ski-fields#1368896 <![CDATA[babies on ski fields : We took my sone when he was nearly...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40030&PID=1368658&title=babies-on-ski-fields#1368658 Author: Luckymama23

We took my sone when he was nearly two.. so quite a bit older than your bub, but he loved it, DH & I took turns snowboarding, while the other one go up and down ski lifts/ sliding on a rubbish bag with DS, we made a snowman too, he loved it!]]> Thu, 28 Jul 2011 20:44:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40030&PID=1368658&title=babies-on-ski-fields#1368658 <![CDATA[babies on ski fields : Dh loves skiing but I can&#039;t...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40030&PID=1368632&title=babies-on-ski-fields#1368632 Author: fairy1

Dh loves skiing but I can't ski. He wants us to come up but I'm not sure bout spending a whole day in a cafe with a 9 month old. Dh was thinking of skiing with him for some of it but I'm not sure how to do day sleeps. Any tips would be appreciated.]]> Thu, 28 Jul 2011 19:56:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40030&PID=1368632&title=babies-on-ski-fields#1368632 <![CDATA[babies on ski fields : My father used to ski with me...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40030&PID=1368502&title=babies-on-ski-fields#1368502 Author: Joscia

My father used to ski with me in a backpack, wrapped in a sleeping back when I was about that age. I guess it's doable, though I shudder to think about what might happen with all the reckless, inexperienced skiers and boarders around these days
Like the others said - it really depends on whether you are planning on skiing WITH the baby, leaving them somewhere, or just taking them to the snow for a play...

I am taking DS in a few weeks. Last season i saw parents skiing with babies in a back carry in ergos. Not something i'd do personally but the skiiers were both mountain patrollers so confident as all hell. Obviously i won't be skiing this year but sledding. Good fun!]]> Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:07:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40030&PID=1368489&title=babies-on-ski-fields#1368489 <![CDATA[babies on ski fields : It depends, are you going to go...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40030&PID=1368461&title=babies-on-ski-fields#1368461 Author: AandCsmum

It depends, are you going to go up just to hang out or are you going up to ski??

We took our kids up to the snow really young but we haven't actually been able to go up skiing when we have them. If you do want to ski obviously the baby/toddler needs to be happy with who ever they are left with, there are plenty of easy access cafe's but be aware the weather does change quickly.

I think I first took C up & he was in the Moby so well attached but you also have to be careful you don't slip on ice & fall on them.]]> Thu, 28 Jul 2011 12:50:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40030&PID=1368461&title=babies-on-ski-fields#1368461 <![CDATA[babies on ski fields : I&#039;m not sure sorry, We are...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40030&PID=1368395&title=babies-on-ski-fields#1368395 Author: BriAndOlisMum

I'm not sure sorry, We are taking my son, 17 months old, to the mountain in 3 weeks. First time I have been, so i'm not sure what to expect either. ]]> Thu, 28 Jul 2011 10:46:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40030&PID=1368395&title=babies-on-ski-fields#1368395 <![CDATA[babies on ski fields : Hi, Any body taken their babies...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40030&PID=1368286&title=babies-on-ski-fields#1368286 Author: Guest_48751

Hi,

Any body taken their babies to ski fields with them? We're planning to go to whakapapa this weekend with my 8 month old baby. Not sure if that's too young. Will it be too much of a hassle for both parents and the baby? I know it there are quite a few toddlers there but not sure of babies. Any tips, dos and donts?]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2011 23:23:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40030&PID=1368286&title=babies-on-ski-fields#1368286
