YOUR CHILD'S SKI SCHOOL DAY

LEVELS:  First Timer/White- 1/Yellow - 2/Green - 3/Blue - 4/Red 
Levels Note: Levels 3/Blue & 4/Red may be operated as one class if the number of participants is not sufficient at both levels. This decision will be made on the day by a member of the EISS Supervisory Team. 
*see ski level descriptions here

PLEASE NOTE:
Please make sure your children have the necessary ski equipment, outdoor clothing, goggles and helmet, gloves, warm clothes, well-fitting boots, etc. EISS does not operate snowsports equipment rentals.
Lift tickets are not needed for our 3-6-year-old guests as we have passes in our yeti vests that all children wear on the hill skiing.

We take allergies and medical issues very seriously at EISS. It is imperative that any child diagnosed with asthma or anaphylaxis have their doctor-signed action plan with them, in addition to their medication. For 3-6yr olds, this is signed in on arrival. A child without an action plan or medication may be refused entry to the centre. Medication such as Ventolin or EpiPen must be carried on the child at all times and the child will be identified and 'labelled' at sign in (3-6yr olds). For older children, parents are encouraged to discuss these conditions with their instructor when dropping off their child.

We ask that you be very specific at sign in or drop off regarding exactly what dietary requirements or medication needs your child has. Our kitchen caters to most common dietary requirements, however you are welcome to discuss any unusual requests prior to your arrival via email or phone. Whilst our chefs are trained in how to prepare allergy-friendly food, and take every precaution to minimise cross contamination, we understand that some parents would prefer their child eat their own pre-prepared food. Children with diagnosed allergies are welcome to bring a packed snack and lunch, or can be picked up for lunch if you would prefer to supervise them yourself.

• Any medication should be clearly labelled and placed in a sealed bag and signed in.
• Action plan from doctor for asthma, allergies and anaphylaxis to be placed in this bag.
• Children will be identified as having a medical condition or dietary requirement upon sign in and a special label will be attached to their progress tag.
• All medication will be carried on the child or their instructor at all times whilst on snow.
• Whilst we provide meals that cater specifically to your child's allergies or requirements you are welcome to provide your own meal or snack if you prefer - this must be signed in and noted upon arrival.

In short....yes...you can. BUT ....we really encourage you to do so at a distance or even better ...out of sight. The reason being, typically children settle into the routine and happily follow along with their peers as soon as the parent is gone.

Tears, whilst these can be heart-wrenching, are not uncommon on the first day. There are many reasons children get upset, but most commonly the overwhelming nature of a busy and new environment, coupled with the initial separation can be enough to set them off. Often on subsequent days it becomes much easier....so don't give up!

Feel free to discuss your concerns with staff, however there are some things you can do to help prepare your child for ski school:

• Ensure they are dressed in warm and waterproof clothing with a well-fitting pair of goggles. Keeping them comfortable but not to the point of overheating.
• Let them practice walking in their skis and boots before arriving at ski school. Familiarity with their equipment is very beneficial.
• Arrive early and have paperwork pre-filled to reduce time standing around. Allow time to say goodbye and keep handover short and sweet. Ensure they are wearing their boots so you are not having to change them when they may be distressed.

Naturally if any child appears distressed or unwell, we will attempt to notify parents immediately. Sometimes they may spend a little extra time indoors until they settle down.

If your child is 3-6 yrs old, then it is unlikely they will require poles. Your instructor will advise you if and when any Yeti Club participant needs poles. If they are in the most advanced Yeti ability level, you can bring them in and they may be used at the instructors’ discretion. Poles left in storage at the centre are stored at your own risk. It is preferred that they be left at your accommodation unless requested.
