My almost 4-yo has started to ski on his own. Fun! (Also terrifying! But mostly fun!). He does linked turns on bunny slopes but we haven't taken him to an actual green slope. He can turn to stop sort of like a slow motion hockey stop, fall over to stop or wedge if he needs to slow down/stop. Any tips on a progression here? I have no idea where to go next, other than keep taking him on the mountain and eventually when he wants to go on the big lift try a green run (as of now he is a bit hesitant to go on anything other than the bunny slope so I'm not sure if I should force the issue or just let him decide when he is ready). Is that the right approach or is there something I should be working on with him before I take him on the green runs?
I plan on putting him in a season kids program next year when he's old enough but right now we're just basically focusing on him learning to enjoy skiing and learning basic safety stuff.
