Guys and Girls, new or advanced, have a great time but just be aware alot of snow may look good and feel good but it can have a dark side as well.Two climbers killed in Ben Nevis avalanches
Hunt called off for eight missing climbers in French Alps
Biggest snowfall in years delights skiers in Alpine resorts
Avalanches kill 17 in Turkey and French Alps
Ten climbers missing after avalanche near Mont Blanc
Take care and have a great time.

Also I think helmets should be a must for skiers. 1st year we have worn them and was glad I did. Had a fall which was on an easy blue noone around going fastish, tips must have crossed and I landed on my head!!! took a few mins to recover but had I not had a helmet on could have been a lot worse.enjoy but do keep safe
re: WARNING TO ALL
Can you hire helmets in all ski resorts?re: WARNING TO ALL
mostly no, but they only cost 20-30 pounds so just buy your own. And they won't do you much good in an avalanche
re: WARNING TO ALL
I would say mostly yes! - I've always seen helmets for hire in every ski resort I've been to. Its compulsory for kids to wear them in ski schools in many places. I know Interski hire them out in Pamps and I'm sure other places too.
That being said, I would always prefer to use our own helmets - you don't know what knocks the hire helmets have already taken - a bit like using a second hand baby seat in a car. If you do hire them, they should be free from stickers and check them carefully ...

Yes it is adamant you wear a helmet, look what happened to Natasha Richardson, a friend of mine came up with the idea of buying a plain black/white helmet and decorate it. Don't use stickers though, it does something to the security, I don't know, but I'd make sure you do,Have great holidays,
