A friend was a race coach for youth programs in Alaska for over a decade before moving here. His daughter is now 2.5 and in her first year skiing at the local hill. Last year he did some sliding on snow with her sitting in a sled to get her introduced to the idea of what sliding on snow felt like. At the hill this year they will ride the carpet a few times and go together on the chair to the 400’ long green a few times. Maybe spend 35-45 minutes total after booting up and go home when she is tired. He is super focused on her having fun and stopping while it’s still fun. I think this is a great kid centered experience.

For the helmets part really little kids wear helmets all the time now on their trikes/balance bikes etc so I think light helmets appropriate to their neck strength are out there for purchase. A decade ago when my kids were little I think the recommendations for kids starting to ride in a bike towed carrier was wait until 6 months so they could wear the helmet safely although that could have changed by now.
Love that! Fun above everything
