The school is very busy the first morning, you will have a fit when you see the queue, but they are very quick, if your boots are not comfy just tell them, it took me 3 attempts.If you can get Yanko as your instructor he is patient and caring and had us on the green run by Wednesday, he is fantastic.

Ok dont worry, your first time will be a blast. everyobe else is in the same boat as you and you will find you all bond very quickly, falling over and making a arse of yourself!!! You will be amazed that by the end of the week you will be able to ski from top to bottom and believe me when you first do that the feeling is just fantastic. Very Happy

re: First Timer!!

Thanks for your messages guys and gals!!! Feeling a little less nervous now and really looking forward to the week! However I think I will break the record of 'falling' as my sense of balance is rubbish! I cannot rollerskate or iceskate so this 'ski-ing' will be a real experience. My hubby will probably take to the slopes like a 'duck to water' as he is good at the balance thing and quite fit due to his enduro biking every weekend!! All his biker mates have told him he will be hooked ...
