Do you have kids????

[madskier6]

Yes. 45 years old. 4 children: aged 16 (Girl), 14, 12, & 10 (all boys). They all ski or board.

(i) Skiers: 16 & 10 yr olds

(ii) Snowboarders: 14 & 12 yr olds

The 14 yr old & 10 yr old boys are the hardcore skiers/riders who usually always ski with me. Kevin (10 yr old) placed second (or 3rd - I can't remember) in the Sundown Bump Contest in the 17 & under age category. He lost to the 17 yr old first place finisher.

The other 2 join me when they're in the mood although my 16 yr old daughter races on her high school race team in Western Mass, usually at Berkshire East. We're not a race family but she has enjoyed it.

My wife joins us skiing whenever we're able to synchronize our schedules.

son John age 11, pretty good B mogul skier, started skiing at age 2 and did 2 years of racing before getting into bumps at age 8

daughter Ally age 7, also started at 2, just finshed 2 years of racing and this year will start bumps too (to follow in her brothers footsteps)

I'll be 45 in 10 days (you still have time to shop). I have a 16 year old son with whom I ski a lot. My daughter, who is a competitive 13-year old gymnast, is a pretty good snowboarder and skier. She prefers to be known as a snowboarder but can smoke most adults on skis.

Now you know.

30, married for 5 years, 19 month old son. Will be trying to put the skis on him this year if he is trong enough. He is a big kid for his age, I think he can handle it. Look forward to skiing with him, not looking forward to buying him the gear.

3 years old was the optimal age for the leash, I found with my 2. Have fun.

 

[highpeaksdrifter]

I have 3 and they all ski.

 

[Warp Daddy]

Son 38 and daughter 42 they both ski . My Son in law skis but not my daughter in law

4 grandkids: the 2 girls are 8 yrs old , the 2 boys are 13 and 11 ---- ALL ski regularly

Although they live in Manhattan and NW metro Boston regions they ski with grampa and gramma each Christmas week and President's day week -- the highlight of my ski season ..

The older grandson races and is the BEST skier in the family ( kiks my butt regularly :>) ) but his finest sport is baseball

2 boys, 5 and 10. The 10 year old had three years of ski lessions, into bowling now. Hope to get him back out this winter. The 5 year old starts this year. He can't wait!

36 (atleast for the next few weeks). 2 kids - daughter 4 1/2 and son 2 1/2 Both skiers - my daughter had over 60 days last year and my son had about 10 days of some magic carpet time and just getting use to having the boots/skis on the feet.

As my wife(of over 11 years now) and I like to say, since we have a girl and a boy and they don't come in any more varieties, we're done Wasn't necessarily sure how I'd fare with the kid thing at first, now I couldn't begin to imagine what my life would be like without them

I have a son who is two and a half and a boy or girl is on the way in T-minus five weeks....

Hoping to get junior out on the slopes this winter. He really took to sledding last winter and, thanks to the Backyardigans, regularly sings the song "I like snow, I like snow".
