Skiing

　　Downhill and cross-country skiing are family favorites during the winter months. Some children start skiing as young as age 2 or 3, but the best age is probably about 5, when kids are more coordinated （协调的）and less afraid of falling. Young downhill skiers can hit the bunny slopes or green circle trails but should have an adult with them. Ski lessons can help your child learn the ropes. It’s wise to wear a helmet in case of falls or collisions.

　　Snowboarding

　　As with skiing, little ones can start snowboarding young, but few children try before age 5 or 6. Snowboarding is most popular among teens because they have the strength and skills to stay uptight and try more tricks. Lessons and safety equipment, including a helmet, knee pads, wrist guards, and hip pads, are suggested because snowboarders of all ages have their share of falls.

　　Snow Angels

　　Soft snow? Cheek. Snow suit? Cheek. That’s all the gear kids of any age need to lie down and create a snow angel just like they would do a jumping jack. Make this simple activity extra fun by using materials to decorate your angel, such as food coloring to draw on a face, and old clothes to dress it up. Why should snowmen have all the fun?

　　Ice Skating

　　This slippery activity will be tricky for newcomers. But once they get the hang of it, they might get lost. Age 4 or 5 is a nice time to begin skating or take lessons. Most children wear figure skates or hockey skates to start out. After they get more into skating, they can try the sports of speed skating, ice dancing, figure skating, or hockey. Have beginners wear a helmet, and offer them a hand to help with balance.
