Why buy skis at all when you can rent them so no shleping waxing etc and after paying the airline for taking on board its nearly the same price as renting

Me too ian, I never go for the apre I prefer I quite resort and DIY, you are more in control

When I go as a couple I call up the local tourist office, and tell them my budget and requirments and they call me back with place I asked for, buy my own tickets rent a cheap car at the airport and I find it the cheapest way

I can't agree more taking private lessons is the best way forward, but if you are not happy with your instructor just ask at the office for some one else until you are happy, and than try and stick with that instructor, my first instuctor was so hopeless that I even wanted to give up skiing, but thank god I changed him to a brilliant one in Les Menuire and he was fantastic he made me from a scary snow plogue skier to a confident paralel skier, thanks thomas

[Features
- Ultra-small size means it can facilitate a variety of occassions for easy recording/monitoring - Built-in rechargeable lithium battery can last up to 2 hours and can be re-charged via the USB cable and an included AC Adapter means you can charge the battery via the mains] thats the quote from your web site, so 2 hours is far to little for a skier, sorry not for me. |

The UK's longest dry ski slope could be saved by a rescue package.
A report by Midlothian Council, which owns the loss-making Midlothian Snowsports Centre, concluded that the business could be turned around. Central to the plan is £600,000 of investment from SportScotland, and selling off some green belt land near the site to developers. The centre has been losing about half a million pounds a year. full story; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-11083746 |

Don't worry the more you practice the better you will ski, so your confidence will grow, just keep on skiing and take some more lessons, just don't give up its very normal
