I went on my first ski holiday at the end of jan with my family and what a fantastic time we had .I'm sat at home on a wet sunday wishing i was on holiday.Things keep running through my head........watching the snow forecasts weeks before we went hoping and praying for snow,flying over the ALPS and seeing real snow,getting fitted with those boots and skis and thinking a week in THESE, the first day of the first lesson and totally out of control,the kids off and having fun,the silence on a chair lift ,making it to the top by the end of the week and skiing down........in control........well sought of..... fantastic fantastic fantastic People said we would be hooked and we are no more summer holidays saving for next year and more memories :D :D :D

Great advice, the gloves that we all have are top end of the market so hopefully should be ok ,cant wait till next week

Thanks Trencher ,going skiing is a whole new adventure .

Thanks hopscotch
hope we get hooked

Hi
i'm off skiing for the first time next week to Westendorf with my two kids and have a couple of things a would like to ask
-we all have good gloves ,but do you think liners for the kids would be a good idea
-we are all booked into ski school and my kids get really thirsty doing anything should i provide them with a bottle of drink or send them off with a small back pack
-i was told the kids will always loose gloves ,and ive been looking for some elastics to attatch to the gloves any ideas where we could get some .

Really stupid questions i know but we really looking forward to our trip and want to be prepaired nothing worse than miserable kids.
many thanks :P
