Looks like I will be heading off on my first beach holiday for 15yrs.

Ranch, this is grounds for divorce and you are not yet wed!

When I met Fraulein Mac, she was also a non-skier. We courted, she joined me for my second season in Niederau. and became a really good skier, ~ then we got married!

She now skis like a dream.

My good lady, now Frau Mac, also does not like the cold. Hence, where I aim to ski every month from January onwards, she focuses on March skiing ~ many warm/hot days. Much better than any beach.

Beach holidays drive me mad. What do you do? If I am not active, I like to paint. Once I had painted 6 palm trees, that was the end of my beach holiday......

Am afraid my painting skills are not up to much!

On a positive note, I don't really get the social element of skiing itself. Typically the faffing starts before you even arrive at the slopes and descends from there. Unless someone is super organized then it just isn't going to work. Much prefer to leave the socializing for after the skiing.

I feel for you Ice man but I'm heading for the white slopes in Feb. -) All the way from sunny South Africa that is. Skiing vs game drives ? Skiing all the way :lol:
