Thank you for reading braveskimom.com. I love writing this blog! I find it a fantastic creative outlet for me and I hope it is a resource for you. If you are wondering why I call myself brave, here is the answer.
I always post on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and sometimes some other days if I have a lot to say and share. From time-to-time, I have Giveaway drawings.
While I try to keep some focus on skiing and information for skiing families, I love to write about parenting and being a mom, too, as well as other sports and topics which catch my fancy. My goal is to intersperse these topics in a way which makes at least some of my writing interesting even to readers who don’t ski.
If you are looking for a specific topic, for example, ski resort reviews, you can search my site by category using the drop-down box under What I Write About. You can also search by keyword (for example, Snowmass) in the search box under Find What You’re Looking For.
I want to hear from you! Please feel free to suggest topics, resources, and ideas for other skiing families (with kids of any age from infants to adults — just because your kids are grown doesn’t mean you aren’t a skiing family anymore!)
If you would be willing to be interviewed by either email or phone about YOUR favorite ski resort or mountain for family skiing, please contact me. I’ll be in touch!
Also, please don’t think I am limited to Alpine skiing. Nordic skiers, snowboarders, family winter sports enthusiasts: I want to hear from you all.
Finally, if you like what you read, please subscribe via email, RSS, Facebook or Twitter. You may not want to read every post, but at least you won’t miss any.
Thanks again for visiting braveskimom.com.
Let it snow!

Hi
Love the website – can I ask your advice on an issue that concerns me…..what are the lowest temperatures at which it is safe to go skiing with young kids ? I have a 7, a 9 and an 11 – and we’re heading for Norway and temperatures that look likely to be of the order of -15C to -20C…but hopefully with little windchill.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mark
Thanks Mark. I am curious about this too. Let me do a little research and look for the answer next Tuesday, February 22. If I have an answer earlier, I will send that directly to you. Thanks!
I “love” Eucerin products and I use them every day. Please include me in the prize drawing. I love all the foods on the list as well.
Hi brave ski mum,
Thanks for writing such a great blog. I found it only this week and have really enjoyed reading your posts. I too am a lover of skiing – have been doing it since I was 2 and haven’t missed a year since. I come from a skiing family and have many wonderful memories of skiing growing up. Such a wonderful family activity.
I met my husband when living in ‘the snowy mountains’ in Australia, and we fell in love over a season of skiing together. We now have two children – 3 1/2 and 4 months – and we are introducing them to our much loved sport (did they have a choice??) Our 3 1/2 year old boy is into his 3rd year on skis and our 4 month old has this past weekend had her first play in the snow. Skiing has really clicked for our 3 1/2 year old this year – watching him ski down the mountain last weekend was just wonderful. And his love for snow in general makes me so happy – when he saw the first signs of snow on the mountains he was so excited….it brought a tear to my eye.
We typically alpine ski but I have recently started up telemark – influenced by my husband who plays around with both. My family has also been heavily involved in mogul skiing.
When we are not skiing we enjoy being outdoors – especially biking. We live in a great mountain biking area.
Anyway….thanks again and I look forward to reading more. I have to pack for 5 days in the mountains – can’t wait!

Thank you for sharing so much about your skiing family. Here’s to many more years skiing, mountain biking and enjoying the mountains together! It is exciting that your 3 1/2 year old is progressing. And somehow, I don’t think your 4 month old will be too far behind. Enjoy and again, thank you so much for your comment.
Hi Brave Ski Mom,
