Well maybe what's your favourite foreign language?
French, German, Italian or Spanish?
Then - Luxury, budget? Hotel, self-catering, catered chalet (which may be a completely new concept to you).
Then - time of year? Presumably school hols?
and see what this leads to .....

Hi Jimbob and welcome,

I do understand where you are coming from with children and ski school - I think this is so hit and miss, some kids adore ski school others loath it. My son hated ski school, it was a disaster for him until ...
He went with school and his mates :thumbup:

You can all learn to ski together in a private group - some ski schools will accept this, after all they want your money!! But it is not ideal as children and adults learn in such a different way, but I have seen it work especially in the first few days which is about learning to put your skis on and how to get up when you fall over. Plus your kids will probably adore laughing at the crumblies who will probably be so much slower.
I wonder if the first step is to narrow down what type of holiday you want and which country (any language preferences?) and then to think about budget as private lessons will be considerably more expensive than groups.
Hope this helps?

I had some problems with odd pictures and links showing as not read.
What I did was clear my browser cache (get rid of all the old internet files) which seems to have worked for me.
Depending on which browser you use how you do this varies, so just google clear browser cache (browser name) and you will find it is really quite simple.

well I have snow and a boot - bizarre, but thanks for the boot!

The plot thickens?

The pic I can see is of some snow !!
