What you do on the first morning is go round looking for him and ask if you can go in his group - you can't request it in advance, just have to be lucky on that first morning

Ta for replies - will have to look around first morning and keep fingers crossed! Did anyone else ski with Kris last year? He wore a really distinctive bobble hat when we were there!

I get the same instructor but have his number and mail address so he arranges to meet me the first morning, if you do get Kris again this year take his details if you return next year etc....

Ta for all your replies - and if anyone out there who did ski with kris last season managed to get his contact details, I'd be really grateful if you could pass them on

That's what our kids call us - they think 'ski' is something you have to do on snow. I haven't the heart to tell them what it really is - 'Spending Kids Inheritance'!
