Hitting the slopes for the 1st time.

Cheers for your responses and welcomes guys. One of the people i'm going with has worked a few seasons out in Meribel I think and used to instruct a bit (which basicaly means he's talking a very good game)and has offered to get me started.

But knowing how clumsy/accident prone/injury prone/silly i am I think I may get a lesson when I get there.
