What will i belike after a week?

First time skiing on feb 3rd, booked ski school providing im not totally hopless what can i realistically expect to doing after a few days?

re: What will i belike after a week?

black runs
actually you will be surprised you will be doing snow plough turns and hopefully your first blue run, I did not learn very well in ski school at all, so had two days private tuition which were well worth the money had me doing parallels on the first day

re: What will i belike after a week?

It depends on the individual, I did a black run on the 4th day, although that's probably not advisable. My sister on the other hand never progressed to more than a blue in two weeks.

After that week, stopped skiing and started snowboarding - have never looked back since.

re: What will i belike after a week?

so long as you look forward and don't hit the skiers

re: What will i belike after a week?

I have to look forward to aim for the skiers

Only kidding, to be honest the most difficult part from a boarders point of view is keeping an eye out for skiers coming from above you on the slope.

re: What will i belike after a week?

its the rushing sound the boards make that scare me half to death - but I will try it some day soon, just because boarding gear looks cooler

re: What will i belike after a week?

You are almost a boarder already. A skier that realises boarders look cooler, won't stay a skier for long.

On top of this, it's great not to have to wear ski boots, or lug skis around. Boards are easier to carry and I challenge anyone to look good walking in ski boots

re: What will i belike after a week?

its the boot that appeal to me the most no ski boot yet fits me without killing by the end of the day

re: What will i belike after a week?

Seriously, why do boarders look "cooler"? After all, we all now where the same gear, we both go off-piste and we both drink in the same places.

If anything, as skiers spend more time stood up than sat on the piste surely they are cooler. And as for walking, well it's all about how good you look on the slopes not on the lash?!
