SportWays — Skiing & Snowboarding

My 12-year-old son participated in the SportWays skiing program in Amsterdam last weekend, and overall, we had a good experience. The instructors, like Mia, were attentive and genuinely engaged with the kids. My son learned to navigate some intermediate slopes and even tackled a small hill that he initially found daunting. The group sizes were manageable, which allowed for some one-on-one coaching, a big plus. However, we did encounter some long lines for the ski lifts, which tested his patience a bit. The program runs weekly, and I appreciate that it encourages outdoor activity during the winter months. I would recommend this program, especially if your child enjoys being active and learning new skills in a supportive environment.

We enrolled our 9-year-old in the SportWays skiing program in Amsterdam, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructors, especially a guy named Tom, were very engaged and helped the kids feel comfortable on the slopes. My child built confidence while learning basic skiing skills amidst a small group of peers, which was a big plus. We had some trouble with long lines at the lift, which caused delays, but the outdoor environment and fresh air made it worth it. The program's organization was decent, though I wish there were a bit more clarity on what to expect for first-timers. Still, the kids had a blast and my child made a new friend during the sessions. I’d recommend this program for active kids looking for a fun winter sport, just be prepared for a bit of waiting around at times.
