Matt was my instructor last year! Had 2 private lessons as well last year. One from Yonni and one from Scott.

I agree with snowb4ndit on this one. We took our first ski holiday last year in Arinsal in Andorra and we're going back next week as we didn't ouski the resort and the ski schools were excellent. Will probably try the alps next year though. Andorra was good value and isn't much heavier on the pocket than Bulgaria. We did toy with the idea of Bulgaria this year and now i'm soooo glad we didn't opt to go as the snow conditions are extremely poor and had read some dubious reports about Bulgaria

Hi Laura,
I work as an orthopaedic theatre nurse in the North East of England. I would try and get in touch with your son's ortho consultant well in advance of the trip and explain the situation. This means you aren't waiting until the day of cast removal to make your decision as to whether to go or not. His/her secretary can probably arrange an earlier appointment than you already have if you explain the situation to them. If the surgeon agrees he should be ok for the trip he will be able to arrange for a removable splint to be made through appliances or occupational therapy or may advise putting him in a lightweight scotchcast for the trip. All i would say is make sure you take plenty of paracetamol and an inflammatory such as brufen with you and give him regular doses of both whether he is in pain or not. If he is in a cast his hand may well swell up after a day or so of skiing. This is where a removable moulded splint may be of more use as it can be removed on an evening and his arm rested in a sling to allow for swelling. It will also be useful to take a sling with you to rest his arm in when he isn't skiing. At the end of the day i would go with your surgeons decision. I can't comment much further as i don't know how old the injury is or what type of fracture it is. Hope this helps a little. Good luck. |

I wouldn't buy boots for your first ski trip. You can hire them in resort. Wait and see if you like it first before you start buying expensive kit like boots
