Children can start learning to ski as early as 3 or 4 years old, depending on their physical development and interest. Some children may surprise you and start earlier.
At Switch, we are always happy to help your youngsters to start building their confidence on skis, through fun games and practices before hitting the slopes.
Choosing ski sizes for you or your children depends on height, weight, and skiing level.
We are always happy to help you with the sizing charts and put at your disposal our wide knowledge in equipment.
Always keep in mind that choosing the right equipment can make or break your day!
Ski boots are the most important part of your ski equipment. Boots should fit snugly but not be overly tight.
Always look for boots with adjustable buckles and a flex rating suitable for you or your child's skill level.
We are always here to help you find the right fit with our guidlines and manuals.
Avoid cotton at all cost, as it tends to retain moisture
Wear moisture-wicking thermal as a base-layer to keep sweat away from your skin. Choose synthetic or merino wool materials.
Depending on the weather, you might need one or more insulating layers. A fleece mid-layer or a down jacket can provide extra warmth. Adjustable layers are ideal, as you can add or remove them based on the temperature.
Choose a waterproof and breathable ski jacket to protect you from snow and wind. Look for features like adjustable cuffs, a hood, and ventilation zippers for temperature control.
Wear waterproof and windproof ski pants with insulation if the weather is particularly cold. Make sure they have reinforced cuffs to prevent damage from ski edges.
Go for waterproof and insulated gloves or mittens to keep your hands warm and dry.
Choose breathable ski socks to keep your feet warm and comfortable. Make sure your socks are not too thick to avoid constriction in your ski boots.
Always wear a helmet for extra protection. Take your time to choose a helmet that fits and always make sure to close the buckles when you ski.
Protect your eyes from the sun, wind, and snow glare with ski goggles. Avoid using sunglasses.
