Today was for us a family ski day so we took our younger one's out on the slopes in beautiful sunshine. Living in the mountains they are both competent skiers at 5 and 7 and happy on most terrain. The youngest is very much a 'boy' and into speed and jumps, the oldest more into the bumps and 'light' off-piste! But this is one of the great things about a Verbier family ski holiday, it has something for everyone, whatever your preference.
So with somewhat different styles and preferences any other resort might have resulted in one family ski member being disappointed, but not in Verbier. First stop La Chaux for the snow park to practice some jumps, all family ski ages after all love taking air, and then there is snow cross run for the competitive father and five year old (and yes the former did struggle to keep up). Mean while the oldest was happy with the jumps and cross before popping in between the runs to practice some bumps, before we headed across to the Attelas area and underneath Mont Gele. Here you can ski within easy reach of the piste, yet some of the best moguls your find in Europe, before headig home to a great Verbier Chalet with a very tired but great family ski party!
