1/ At what age can kids start snowboarding?
While kids can take their first steps on skis at around 2-3 years of age, snowboarding requires more complex body control: in snowboarding, both feet are attached to the same board, which means you need to know which is your right foot and which is your left, and you need to be able to lean on your heels and tiptoes. These are skills that kids generally learn a little later, from the age of 4.
In ski schools, snowboard lessons are generally offered from the age of 8.
That said, taking ski lessons beforehand lets future snowboarders develop gliding reflexes that will come in handy when snowboarding.
