Do an internet search for ski weekends and short breaks. www.skiweekends.com/ does short breaks.
As you are new to all the joys of skiing it is probably safer/easier to use a company to help you sort everything out.
Good luck, enjoy, let us know how you get on.

Tignes would be a reasonable bet

Chris - if it is on your formal medical records then you do need to disclose this as a previous medical condition.

Question then. For everyone. Do you think that people tend to go back to the same resort year after year, more than they experiment with different places?

Now I am an acknowledged boring OF and tend to go back again and again ...
Courchevel is my usual resort, been going for 25 years, 7 times in last 8 years. Tignes as well for late season (as this Easter), but first time for 5 years.
Done a season or more in each of these, know where to go, how to avoid queues, find good snow in most conditions etc etc.
We keep looking at alternatives to Courchevel that would work for us but with a non-skiing but mountain loving wife nowhere else has looked like it would work as well.
For some people returning to a resort again and again would seem daft, they want to explore. For others (like me) the knowledge that goes with familiarity draws us back.
Plus I can't read a piste map without glasses so not needing one is a real advantage :mrgreen:

Obtaining the firearm might be complicated though. Or easy. Depends how you look at it

Hold or hand luggage?? Quite heavy once ammunition included - but you can get some light weight ones nowadays.
:wink:

OK - you've got the helmet, just body armour and body guard to sort .....

Only 83 for me :lol:

Suits me 8)
Saw it earlier but couldn't find a piste map or snow forecast.
Do we need a Malam Jabba snow forecast admin? :roll:
