New to skiing !!

Im going to Pamps on the 30th of January. Ive never skiied before and have lessons. Do you think the fact i will probably spend the week learning that it will hamper my enjoyment? are the lessons just in the morning ? How do you think i would cope in the afternoon surrounded by experienced skiers ?

Everyone spends the week learning and that's all part of the FUN!

Its very laid back and easy going.

Start at 10:00am till around 11:15 whev its time for a brandy coffee (if you havn't already had one), then off again till Lunchtime when there will be an hours break. You may get time for another coffee break in the afternoon and finish sometime between 3:00 and 4:00. The instructor will probably go along with what ever the majority want to do.

The coffee and lunch stops are all a chance to meet people - apart from the fact that you need a break.

Yes there are experienced skiers, but there are also alot of newbies.

Enoy! I have over the last 3 years.

Hi Gary, we went to pamps as beginers last year and ski school did not hamper our enjoyment one bit. Our lessons wre from 10am to 3pm with lunch in between. You will cope fine with experienced skiers flying past, just stay at the pace your comfortable with.
We are going back this March so we must have enjoyed it.

ski school is probably more fun than skiing on your own?

I personally think the best skiing holiday you ever have is the first!

You will never laugh so much in your life!!!! And don't forget everyone is in the same boat, so you all laugh together.

yes, and if you buy the video you can laugh at people falling over on the flat (where you learn) before they challenge other runs, years later, which makes you feel like you are back there, i think having lessons is better because you share the experience
