Kids Helmets Compulsory?
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 13 Replies
Helmets for kids are more common than not and I know that a lot of ski schools insist on them.

Personally I would recommend it.
Hi Richard

Am sure you will have a lot of responses to this thread with advice.

I have to say that I have only ever traveled with Crystal and Thomas Cook and have never had any problems I think its likely any type of holiday it depends on what you want and expect from the money you pay. Supposedly following a recent survey in the Telegraph Neilson came out with the highest ratings and i have been on other holidays with them and they are the top end of quality and price so I suppose it depends on your budget.....

As for resorts for first timers there are a million and one out there so i suppose it depends on what you want from a resort - apres ski, ski in ski out, shops, other activities.......

Personally the only time that I find that the sun has a major impact on your skiing and the slopes is when spring is approaching and the weather is becoming warmer as you then find that the snow turns "slushy" and can make it harder to ski. other than that the sun being out is a big pick you up and just makes skiing a bigger pleasure than it already is.

Its a prety poor sales pitch when they haven't even said what or where they are trying to plug other than two Solvenian resorts and a lake :D

Is it this one you are talking about Rose?

Had a chuckle over it this morning and thought the guy was being very enterprising but did wonder how he had created the "snow" effect. Should tell him to roll up to Lancashire and he can take a lorry load away with him =;0)
First time to Andorra

I would also recommend Soldeu. I went last New Year with a friend and it was her first time skiing. There are loads of runs for beginners/intermediates. I have to say though that I personally would book into the ski school as you will find that you will still improve your technique plus you will probably get to see a lot more of the area (which is now pretty vast since it has connected to Pas).
Soldeu also has a fab apres ski and you can't go wrong......
Can't do this year as Canada calls for the season but what about 2010....!? :lol:
