Hello.

Has anyone been skiing with a 3yo boy and a 5yo girl?

If so, wondered if full salopettes and ski jacket are needed or if warm winter clothes/waterproofs sufficed?

If full skiwear is needed, does anyone have any recommendations?


I've put an advert on the classifieds for second hand skiwear but then thought i'd ask from those that have been before.


I'll buy clothes if i have to, but given we're unlikely to go until next year we'll probably only get one use out of them!


thanks in advance, all

Hi, i would go for salopettes combined with your kids' winter jackets. For salopettes I would try H&M (Swedish brand - they do ski gear for kids - ?20 for salopettes and if you buy a size too big they can have them next year too!) or maybe Try Decathlon in Surrey Keyes. i think waterproofs (even though they of course would wear stuff underneath) would get a bit cold. A good pair of mittens to keep wetness and cold away is a must too!

Hi


i would def go for salopettes preferably with the braces and higher backs or you will end up with a lot of tears from cold children with snow everywhere and good quality mittens (rather than gloves - much easier to get on and off. I also put my kids in thermals top and bottom and goggles as it can get very cold and windy sitting on lifts etc. Do you have boys or girls? I would prob have some bits from last year that would fit your 3 year old but they are for girls.

thanks all, some good tips here.

The 3yo is a boy unfortunately. Appreciate the offer though.

Think we'll just do a weekend trip to Decathalon. By the looks of it I should be able to kit them out relatively cheaply.

Now fingers crossed they'll enjoy the lessons..wouldn't want to put them off!

You may already have what you need by now, but I've got an all in one navy blue snowsuit which my son wore skiing when he was 3 and 4 years old. It's very stylish, in perfect nick, unisex, very warm, and super easy to get on and off. I'd sell it for ?20


I also have some navy blue snow boots, size 2. Might be too big for your son but might fit your daughter? ?5 for those...


Let me know if either are of interest. Photos attached

      Hey are these two keys with no keyring? I lost them a while back so not sure if they will be the same!

      The London Fitted Wardrobe Co. - Julian Richards

      By madger · Posted

      Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian!

      Fake barbers

      By vladi · Posted

      For many years I went to Ken's on NXR.  He was pretty much the only barber  in ED  Now we have more barbers than you could shake a stick at - all the way down from the Plough through to DKH and some are empty of customers - even on the evenings and weekends.  I never ceased to be amazed that they continued to operate despite not having clients and realised that they were probably into money-laundering - just like the sweet shops along Oxford street. I went once to one on LL and certainly wasn't impressed with their. My dear wife has cut my hair ever since. I don't believe in supporting criminals.

      People are more likely to go back and retrace their route rather than look on the EDF.  If you’re reluctant to put them on a fence or something, perhaps you could put a note with your phone number there
