When it comes to skiing with toddlers and young children, few people have the depth of experience and passion that Tori Ski brings to the slopes. A former ski racer, alpine race coach, and ski teacher for the disabled, Tori has spent over 25 years mastering the art of teaching and coaching skiing. But her most rewarding challenge? Introducing her own children to the joy of skiing from the time they could barely walk - starting 18 years ago with her eldest son and continuing today with her baby daughter.
A Lifetime of Skiing
Tori’s love for skiing began at a very early age, and her career has taken her to some of the most beautiful mountains in the world. Along the way, she has skied with amazing families and athletes, sharing her passion for the sport. She holds the prestigious International Ski Teacher Diploma (ISTD), the highest qualification in ski instruction. But beyond her professional accolades, Tori is a mother of four, and it’s her role as a parent that has truly shaped her approach to teaching skiing in a fun and caring way.
For Tori, skiing isn’t just a sport - it’s a way to connect with nature, build confidence, and create unforgettable family memories. She believes that skiing can be a natural and joyful experience for toddlers, as long as parents have the right tools, mindset, and support from a snow sports professional.
Why Tori Wrote "If They Can Walk, They Can Ski"
Every year, Tori supports many families through her ski teaching business, TORI.SKI. However, she realised that she couldn’t ski with every family who applied for her help. That’s exactly why she wrote her guidebook. Tori wanted to find a way to help families all over the world introduce their toddlers to skiing, even if they couldn’t work with her directly.
Her goal was to create a resource that was practical, approachable, and filled with the wisdom she had gained from years of teaching and parenting.
Her guidebook, "If They Can Walk, They Can Ski," is the culmination of her experience. It’s designed to empower parents to introduce skiing to their toddlers in a way that’s fun, safe, and stress-free. The book covers everything from choosing the right equipment to handling meltdowns on the slopes.
But it’s not just about teaching toddlers to ski—it’s about making the experience enjoyable for the whole family.
What Makes Tori’s Guide Unique?
Tori’s guide stands out because it’s written from both a professional and personal perspective. As a ski teacher with her own business, TORI.SKI, she knows the technical aspects of teaching skiing. As a mum, she understands the emotional side of parenting and the importance of creating positive experiences for children. Her guide is filled with practical tips, step-by-step instructions, and real-life advice that parents can easily follow.
One of the key messages in the book is that skiing should feel like play for toddlers. Tori emphasises the importance of keeping things light-hearted and fun, so children can develop a love for the sport naturally. She also provides insights into what toddlers need - like the right clothing, equipment, and encouragement—to feel comfortable and confident on the slopes.
