Hi all,

Quick question ... what is the best resort in Andora for beginners? iv been told Pas de la Casa is the best one but it seems abit out the way from the beginner pistes when looking at the map.

Hey.
I asked all the same kinda questions when i booked for my first ski holiday.
Check out these threads, they might be able to help.

With the suncream question, i took factor 8 8) wasnt a good idea. my face ended up propper beetroot :lol:

I was told about the lifting of the foot thing to try the parallel stop. I was half able to do it when going slow :lol:
And from looking at that link. that is what i was doing. Keeping legs parallel going across the slope and then doing a snow plough to turn and face the other direction. :) I just thought that was called snow ploughing.
I was managing blue slopes doing that. But it really kills ya legs when you do it.
and with the snow dome its about an hour away. Plus they can be quite expensive :(
Still might look into going though 8)

I might go to the chill factor a couple of times before my next holiday. maybe have a couple of lessons. See if i get the hang of it.
One thing i kept trying do was the Parallel stop (if thats what its called) wasnt really working out to well though :lol:

ah thanks. How isit you do Parallel turns then? Well like sharp turns? i could turn by leaning but it kinda took a little longer to turn and so in that time im building up abit of speed :lol:
Well i guess speed to me is slow to you lot. I was watching a video of me skiing. and where i thought i was going quite fast, on video looked really slow :lol:
