Basic lessons here in the UK - that way she won't waste too much time on the basics in ski school and will be able to ski with you when ski school / lesson has finished.

The questionnaire itself wasn't necessarily too skewed to be useful.
Ultimately this was to get an impression of what aspects of ski boots' design was of greatest relevance to skiers. In the end - even the best designed questionnaire's will have an element of bias in them particularly if the questions are of yes/no nature or option selections. The intro Alex put on this forum perhaps skewed it by naming some of his own perceptions but could be argued that it was about boot functionality & ergonomics rather than a wish list like colour, rocket propulsion or GPS which some may interpret as being important. The questionaire itself gives a number of choices from the writer's identified areas that he feels may be possible targets to improve by design. Do you need a statiscially valid, double blind trial to get a ball park understanding of users concerns? No. It's a design project not statistical research. |

As I recall from a couple of years ago it's uncooked food that's an issue - fruit & meat. Biscuits, cake and the like were no problem.

Went to Courchevel on Feb 4th & they had just extended the lift opening times in the 3V that week so some resorts do extend their operational hours as the days get longer.

If you go on holiday more than once a year it generally works out cheaper to get annual cover.
As has already been said your E11 (or whatever its new name is) won't cover the costs of rescue or repatriation, merely the equivalent of the local NHS eqivalent (which isn't free in many countries). The Carre Neige will pay for the rescue only. A good travel policy will cover your rescue, repatriation and medical expenses |

I'm going at Easter too - do you think a practice week's skiing might be sensible? ) |
