Fresh powder, snow angels, hot cocoa breaks...skiing as a family is pure magic. For young kids, skiing is more than just a sport; it builds strong bodies, balance, confidence, and resilience. Sure, skiing can be cold, exhausting, and challenging, but it teaches the essential lesson of getting back up after a fall. Plus, it’s a lifelong activity you can share together as a family — though I’ll admit, I’m not looking forward to the day my kids out-ski me!

Teaching your kids to ski might feel a bit overwhelming. There's a lot of gear involved to keep everyone comfortable and happy. But we’re here to suggest one piece of gear that will make your family ski days so much easier: the Trail Magik Kid Carrier. For parents of toddlers, this is a game-changer on the slopes. Here's why it's essential:

1. You've Parked! NOW WHAT?

One of the biggest game changers we’ve discovered while skiing with our three kids—who are each two years apart—has been the extra help the Trail Magik Kid Carrier gives us, especially during that chaotic time of getting everyone and all the gear from the car to the first chair.

There was one time, one time, when we accidentally left the Trail Magik at home. Trying to wrangle our three-year-old into her ski boots, carry her skis, and my skis was so ridiculously difficult that I swore we’d never forget it again!

Even if we don’t end up using it much throughout the day, the Trail Magik is a total lifesaver for carrying those bundled-up, marshmallow-like toddlers from place to place without constantly lifting them up. Trust me, your arms will thank me!

2. Lightweight, Compact — With Room For Your Packed Lunch

Unlike other bulky carriers, the Trail Magik Kid Carrier is designed to be ultra-lightweight and compact, making it easy to stash in your ski pack without taking up much space. For me, having snacks and water while skiing is a must, so I always have a backpack with me anyway (who wants to spend a fortune on lunch for two adults and 3 kids at the ski lodge? Not me!). Adding a Trail Magik to the pack is as easy and light as it gets! It’s there when you need it and stows away just as fast, ready for those quick breaks without weighing you down.

3. Quick “Lift Me” Solution

Kids get tired fast, especially on the snow! When they ask to be carried after a day on the slopes, the Trail Magik makes it simple to be able to get back to the lodge or your car with a lot less effort.

4. Keeps the Adventure Going

With the Trail Magik Kid Carrier, you can extend ski days, take longer runs, and explore new terrain while still making it fun and manageable for toddlers. It’s a great way to share your love for skiing with your child in a way that feels natural and fun!

5. You've Got This

With the Trail Magik Kid Carrier, skiing with toddlers becomes easier, less stressful, and way more enjoyable for everyone. Whether it's getting from the car to the lift without a meltdown, keeping your arms fresh, or simply having a quick carry option when the day wears on, this carrier is truly a parent's best friend on the mountain.
