Our Kid's ski course is not just any ski course because we use the Bambino Method from Martin Puchtler, the kids version of Puchtler's Ansteigende-Skilängen-Methode the Graduated Length Method or short ski method. We start with extremely short skis (50-55cm) and direct parallel. Every two days we give the kids a little longer ski. The second length ski is already a Kids Carver.
Our Kid's ski course is not just any ski course because our kids don't ski with that typical syndrom: straight down the slope in a wide snowplow. Our kids start with direct parallel. With the short skis our kids can learn to make rhythmic parallel turns directly from the beginning. We spare no effort to trick the kids into rhythmic parallel turns.
Our kid's ski course is not just any ski course also because we use the parents as ski teaching aids; you don't just stand around; you help teach. The instructor gives you jobs to do to help the lesson. (We speak English with the parents and German with the kids.) You become a parent for all the kids, not just for your own kids. You don't need to be able to ski and you won't even wear skis; you do need good winter shoes. Under the Publications tab, you can find out more about our parent-child ski course strategy in the draft of an article I'm working on; in this website under the Publications tab.
BambinoBootfitting is mostly indoors held in Ottobrunn, a suburb of Munich. At BambinoBootfitting we

Every part of BambinoBootfitting is essential for all firsttimer families and for all returning kids needing boots for the ski course. It is a prerequisite for the ski course.

We have no courses at which parents and children learn at the same time. We don't take kids to the adult ski course weekends or to adult InfoEves. We have no ski courses for 10-18 yearolds. We offer no private ski lessons; we need all our instructors for our group ski courses.
