My husband values his life far too much to take pics of me having a meltdown :lol:
Skiing Powder
Started by User in Ski Technique, 78 Replies
I'm just back from Les Houches, and on our first night there, there was about 70 cm of snow - the chalet was snowed in totally!

I'd never skied powder before, so while husband was a whoopin and a hollerin on his board (he loves powder), I had had a girly meltdown by 11 am!! Fortunately I had a lesson the following day, and the pole planting really helped a lot, as it carried on snowing all week.

Can't say I love it yet, but I can see that I might at some point!

Ski hire and lessons in Val D'isere

I can't recommend these guys highly enough:

http://www.britishskischool.com/val_d_isere/

I used them in Les Gets and my son did 5 mornings of ski school with them too. I've booked a private lesson with them again for next week in Les Houches.

They totally changed my skiing, and I'm so much more confident now.
Self Catering: is it worth it?
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 9 Replies
We've always self catered (apart from next week when we're off to a catered chalet for the first time!), and we usually eat out 3 or 4 times, and cook the other nights. It's never been a big hassle, and it can work out a lot cheaper.
