What readers say

We received the book and immediately devoured it. Our little one was super enthusiastic, and we really think it's excellent. Everything is well explained, yet kept short enough that you can take it in quickly!

It really makes me excited to finally go skiing with my little one! It even convinced my wife to start skiing early.

Why This Guide?

Teaching a toddler to ski can be exciting but also overwhelming. Tiny Champs fills the gap with clear, age-appropriate guidance that makes early ski days fun for the whole family.

  • No clear resources for parents: Most ski tips are made for adults or older kids. Tiny Champs offers a guide made especially for toddlers and their parents.
  • First ski days often end in frustration: Without the right approach, skiing with young children can be stressful. This guide shows how to make it playful, safe and fun from the start.
  • Parents want memories, not meltdowns: Tiny Champs helps families create joyful ski moments instead of tears and tantrums with simple steps anyone can follow.

You have some skiing experience

You probably are a good skier and get on in all the situations, but you dont have much teaching / coaching experience on snow. This is a great starting position and the book will help you with the first steps on snow!
