Hi Im going to finland with my friend and my 3 weeks short of her 3rd birthday daughter! We are going with Inghams to Ruka on a square deal.
However everything seems to be against us because of her age being under 3. The free ski hire and passes is only for 3-7 year old and Inghams have said she wont get them. Also the ski schools are over 3 years plus. I am getting to the point of buying her skies over here and taking them with us because I think the hire shops will also being sticky giving us skies.
I went onto a ski forum before bookign and they said I could teach her myself or get private lessons but I think its down to insurance that they dont want to know.
can anyone advise how they have got round this at the other resorts - Im now having second thoughts of taking her Holiday has all been paid for.
My daughter is very tall for her age and one of the chaps in my work who is a ski instructor said this would go in her favour but I think everything is now so red tapped its makes it really hard for her to learn to ski.
Many thanks
