Learning together

Hi, off to pamps next week. Beginners... my son (11) wants to board and I'm interested in learning to ski. I did like the idea of learning together by my friend assures me that we would be in different groups anyway even if we both board or ski - anybody have any info?

re: Learning together

You can both go in beginners class to learn to ski together, they do mixed adult/children classes. Smile. No experience of boarding.

Yes boarding and skiing lesson's are not mixed. Don't panic your son will have a blast without you Wink

Cheers - he is more than happy without me! It was me that fancied being together. I wonder if I should try boarding, but whatever we do he will be much better so I expect we would end up in different groups anyway.
Thanks to all.

Boarding is great fun, but I would be surprised if you don't come back without a black and blue backside. impact shorts are a good buy and also wrist supports

That is also true Pen at that age they have no fear and tend to pick it up much quicker than us adults Confused

re: Learning together

Daniel, yes I have fear! mostly about my level of fitness, so now I think we will learn in different groups I just have to decide to ski or board? What do you think? In our party of four, the other three are boarding, but I did fancy learning to ski... but now I'm not sure - any advice?
