Family skiing trip in the near future?

What do you think about skiing?

My daughter Clara is six years old and 1’5” tall and 18 pounds because of dwarfism. Would there be any way possible at all she could go skiing with us?

Would you have any suggestions on skis for Clara? Along with her equipment and outfit (gloves, goggles, ski mask, etc.)? Would there be equipment and clothes small enough and light enough for her?

PS: We were just going to take her on the bunny slopes, do you think we could possibly introduce her to a mountain that involves a ski lift? It would be nice if she could experience a ski lift

you cant be serious

@Penny yes. Just to clarify we were going to take Clara just on the bunny slopes. And we were going to be obviously supervising the whole time and make sure it’s not even really close to crowded. Yes I’m serious. I think that she deserves to experience this just as much as us if we can make it happen ;)

@Clarashelper she's 1 and a half feet tall?

Clarashelper · 36-40, F

@Penny yes. She has Primordial dwarfism.

@Clarashelper doesnt sound safe or reasonable to want to take her skiing.

@Penny I completely understand where you’re coming from. But we’re not going to be taking her on some huge black diamond mountain. We’re finding a resort that is not crowded and we are going to take her to the bunny slopes. I was just trying to include her it’s all.:).

@Clarashelper have you ever been skiing?

Clarashelper · 36-40, F

@Penny I have a long long time ago yes

@Clarashelper skiingis dangerous when youre ful sized. even on the bunny slope and to do it with other people around who may not be so mindful?? even with people around who were mindful... still too dangerous. if she got run over by a ski how would you feel?? shed be wrecked.
