Nah - its fine. Other than the first day when you have the 2 hour time difference ! We tended to do school in the morning and bog off on our in the afternoon. (Youngest was in kinder and liked to get him out to play with!) He is a child - not a puppy by the way.
Last year, we met our instructor at 9.15 every morning. we had a break around 11 for hot drinks, then lunch at about 12.30. We skied with him till around 4.15 and caught last ski bus thatleft depot at 4.30. Mind - our instructor was fantastic - other people we spoke to didn't get same attention!
Tell me about it !! It makes me despair ! All that money on a holiday and they're destined not to enjoy it ! Theres more snow there than here so hey, live a little.
