Rather than keeping the kids home on a snow day, they strap them in skis and they shred their way to school. Check out this adorable kindergartener making her way to school on the steep snow covered streets of her mountain village."

In Swiss Alpine villages, children ski to school during snowy weather rather than staying home. Parents strap young children into skis and they descend steep, snow-covered village streets to reach school. Kindergarteners navigate mountain roads on skis and arrive after fresh powder runs. The practice contrasts with many American school districts that cancel classes for a few inches of snow. Ski-commuting fosters early familiarity with mountain conditions and transforms snowy mornings into active, exhilarating journeys for schoolchildren. Children often arrive energized and ready for class after outdoor activity.
