Teaching Kids to Ski with Jessica Averett

In this episode of the Ski Moms Podcast, we’re joined by Jessica Averett, Utah-based mom of five, former professional ski instructor, and founder of SkiingKids.com, a must-visit site for families who love to ski.

Jessica shares her expert tips for teaching kids to ski — without breaking the bank on ski school. She talks through gear must-haves (and what to skip), how to manage different ability levels on the mountain, and her family’s tried-and-true system for stress-free ski days with five kids, ages 8 to 18.

We also cover:

• Choosing family-friendly resorts in Utah (including Snowbasin, Solitude & Brighton)
• What to pack, how to organize gear, and storage hacks at home
• Favorite mittens, outerwear, and the one $10 item every parent should have
• Jessica’s new Teach Your Kids to Ski course & book

If you're looking to make skiing easier, more affordable, and more fun for your family, this episode is full of real-life strategies from a ski mom who’s been through every stage.
