Watch 'em rip down the slopes

Cardrona Alpine Resort has introduced a programme for children aged 3 to 5 who are itching to get on skis. Little Rippers is aimed at those who have already had some ski tuition and want to move up to the next level.

The programme will run out of Cardrona's new $1.3 million Children's Alpine Centre and will cost $95 a child for the day, including care, morning and afternoon lessons and equipment rental.
