Anyone know anything about the new Cloud 9 ladies ski by Atomic. Are they any good for a very, shall we say, careful skier. If not any ideas?

First year we went with Crystal and paid over £800 for Bulgaria at Christmas.
Since then we have been booking an apartment, flights ect ourselves and have managed to get a cheaper deal that way. We are also able to got to a much better resort.

It does make a difference!

Sorry Peter can't think of it at the moment- but will check with the others when they get home and see if they remember. It was with Boro Sports.

Not sure, but if they are going they are probably feeling quite depressed by now.

Sorry Spice!

That sounds very intense training Lynn!

Yes I think it is certainly to do with getting towards the old 50 years!
I only started skiing in my mid 40's and find my legs get really tied.
Before my last holiday I went to the dry ski slope every week for 3 hours, for about 12 weeks. This definitely helped, as I had then used some of the muscles needed. Trying to keep this up now I am back and hopefully I will get fitter as time goes on. That's the plan anyway, but I'm not sure you can fight the age thing!
But I do enjoy it as I go with my son and it is some quality time.

By the way that was not Milton Keynes, it is borovets!
Replying to the first posts!

Sorry!
Did sound a bit on the negative side, but all true.

We did have a lot of fun whilst away, as you needed to laugh about it all.

Also I forgot to tell you about our instructor. The only thing he said to us all week was 'FOLLOW ME'! So needless to say I didn't learn anything and believe me I have a lot to learn!
