re: Last minute nerves

Hi JM..
You will be graded as to your ability to ski, age doesn`t come into it. If you are all at a similar level you will be in the same group or at worst groups for the same ability..
Hope this helps, don`t be nervous, just enjoy...

re: Last minute nerves

when we started skiing 5 years ago, our youngest was 11 other one 13 we asked to be kept together, it was not a problem, was put with another family so had a great time. just tell them you want to stay together and the will. We still ski in the same group even though i am not as good as my son, the instructor just makes the allowence for me. have a lovely time, we have to wait another week to go. dar

Hiya JM

We stayed at Rila w/c 29th Jan. Had a brill time, me my hubby and 9yr old son were kept together, eventhough hubby has been before. Dont worry kids usually pick it up better than adults and will soon be racing past you waving saying "come on dad, what took yah?"

Have a brill time
