If you want to get your eldest on skis, try Canada Olmpic Park (COP) before you head to the mountains, as you can go for just an hour or so, which is great for beginners and way, way cheaper than an all-day lift pass. Also outdoor skating can be found for free in many communities, (albeit you need to buy or rent skates).

As I mentioned before, Calgary's Child magazine is a great source of info for families.

Thanxs tyke,
Good info for us kid laden familys on our way over:thumbup:

Keep up the hints & tips. Calum...
