Plenty of 4 year olds on ski hills and sled runs. it is called being a kid.
I remember kids as young as 2 on skis.
A tragic freak accident. Take first aid. Be prepared.
I’m sorry but who, besides these people of course, brings a four year old to a ski hill? That just doesn’t seem like the kinda family activity you do if you have young kids, like.
