This women's ski is a lightweight number, capable of adjusting to any turn shape. Intermediate and beginner skiers will do well with these, as they perform sweetest at lower speeds and tend to feel a bit unstable when pushed.

They grip the piste well within their limits; less confident skiers could gain a lot of confidence from these as they won't throw any unexpected surprises at you

I'm going to miss you this year as I ski past mountain cafes and your not outside sunbathing! :lol:

First thing is to find a hotel in a resort that will let you stay for one night. Once you have done that the rest is easy. But lessons, lift passes and equipment hire does not come cheap! Find a resort and accomodation and then look for the resorts main website, or look on j2ski for all the other info you need.

I know nothing about where to snowboard.

You could try Expedia.co.uk for a one night stay in one of the resorts, here's a link to a search I just did for Sauze d Oulx, if you change the search to some of the other resorts you might find hotels in resort for a night.

I had a look at their website as well, and they don't give prices - you have to complete a form on-line and send for them.

I find it really annoying when they do that. I like to see all the prices for all the different room types and dates in one simple table, and then I can compare them with other options. Our holiday cottages are advertised like that - in a paper brochure, and on the internet and you can see prices for each individual week and whether or not the cottages are available (I'm afraid our cottages double in price for the summer holidays, but it's a simple case of supply and demand).

I agree, if there is not a chart and you have to fill in a form for a quote then I simply don't bother. Having said that, these guys have put their 'from' prices and they include lift passes so on the face of it they seem quite reasonable http://www.otp.co.uk/otp/resorts/saasfee/ so they might be worth a call. Not that I'm interested at the moment...got two hols booked and if all goes to plan will be booking a March USA trip. :D
