About us
Little Skiers is a family run shop, born out of our love of skiing and from the initial hassles we encountered when we started to go on family skiing holidays with a young toddler and baby. We quickly discovered that there is so much preparation and planning to do and there is a distinct lack of good quality ski wear shops that specialised in children's ski wear or advice.
We struggled to find local ski shops that sold a decent selection of quality children's ski clothing. We wanted to let our 3 year have fun in the snow before ski school and couldn't find plastic skis or training aids like the ski trainer which we had seen other parents use in the ski resorts. I also didn't want to compromise on quality or technical features as I wanted to be confident that they would be warm and comfortable and I knew cheap ski clothing will let the water in over time - and my son spent more time making snow angels in 3 foot deep snow than being upright!
As a result, I started Little Skiers in 2008 to offer great products to like-minded parents but also practical help and advice for those taking their little ones skiing. Take a browse through the newly updated ski extras page which is jam packed with ideas and resources to help preparing for a skiing trip.
My aim is to provide products that are of top quality and of great value. As parents we understand the need for value for money, so we have put together ski clothing packs which represent great value when having to kit your whole child out.
We only sell clothes and accessories that we would be happy having our children in (see our most recent holiday snaps below, Amelie is wearing KoziKidz, her friend Katie is wearing Trespass and Sam is wearing Dare 2b, all topped off with a mixture of Barts, Bolle & Trespass accessories!) Our children wear the ski jackets as winter coats, so consider them a sound investment, but please remember: don't wash them with detergents, only use nikwax technical cleaners and waterproofers and they will keep your children's ski clothing in tip top condition (they can be found in the accessories section).
Do sign up for our newsletters (at the bottom of contact us page), as we will email notification of weekend promotions, skiing news and one day sales.
If you need any further help or general queries about any of the products, sizing of clothes or anything in the advice sections then please do not hesitate to call on 01949 842 300 or email at tess@littleskiers.co.uk
Many thanks and happy skiing! Tess
