5. How old should a child be, before beginning skiing?
Every child is different and so there are no set guidelines. Lessons for children 6 and under are offered by the Asessippi Snow School but must be a private lesson. The instructor will want to have both hands and eyes free to look after your preschool one child at a time. They have many methods that will assist your child in learning how to ski. For snowboarding private lessons are required under the age of 8. The Asessippi Snow School recommends that preschoolers learn how to ski first before they learn to snowboard. For more information please call the Asessippi Snow School at 204-564-2000. You can also pre book your preschoolers private lesson with them.

6. What is easier to learn skiing or snowboarding?
There is no question for a first timer, never ever skiing is easier to learn. Balance on two boards is easier to master however snowboarding is also easy to learn. Both sports will be hard the first day you try but don't give up. It is statistically proven that most people learn to ski or snowboard will need about three visits until they are comfortable. That is why Asessippi created the Tri Discover Package discount.
You get 3 days of a full lift, lesson and rental package. The days can be used any time in the season. See the Tri Discover page for details.
