[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here,

If my kids don’t want to ski with their older cousins or their older cousins don’t want to ski with them, then they can ski with me.  They’ll ski with me some of the time anyway, because we like that.

The question isn’t is there some way we can bring my 3rd sister.  I have saved for years, and spent a lot of time teaching my kids on little local slopes, to be ready for this trip.  We waited till my kids were ready to handle slopes that are bigger than what they can find locally, and then we waited another couple years due to pandemic.  So, I want to be able to actually ski those bigger slopes.  But I also know from family dynamics that I will end up on the little slopes with her kids because frankly telling a 9 and 11 year old that they have to ski with the 4 year old seems much meaner than telling an adult “we figured with a 5 month old this isn’t the year for you to join us”.

So, the question is can I get away with inviting my youngest sister?  I get that everyone seems to think the answer is no.[/quote]

I really have never heard of a ski resort that did not have ski school for all the ages of her kids. You think real skiers stay on the bunny slopes all day, they put their kids in ski school. Even good skiers do ski school so they can ski with their same age and skill level.[/quote]

I know that with an unvaccinated infant she is not going to put her older kids in ski school.  I also know that if her kids get sent to ski school while their cousins have more freedom there will be lots of upsetness

Ski school has never been in my budget, so my kids learned the way I learned, at local resorts from mom or maybe a one hour lesson once in a while. [/quote]
