I am female, about 5 foot 6ins, and my son is wondering if he can borrow my skis to save the cost of hiring some. He is very slim, and about 5 foot 11 ins.
I know its not ideal, and he is so much taller than me , but would it be possible,,, safe etc, or just totally ridiculous? |

In my opinion heavy duty walking boots are a must , esp in January when snow could be a foot deep etc. Normal shoes or trainers in January isnt a good idea. (March /April maybe)
Baselayers: TK max or Oswald Bailey, Marks and Spencers, (people wouldnt think of Marks , but their underwear and thermals are excellent quality). Also any outdoor clothing shop, Blacks outdoor gear etc. Oswald bailey if you want to keep the price down, or Blacks for more expensive. Also you might want to wear baselayer in evening if you are outside for ages.. its so so cold. Mind you, you men dont seem to feel the cold like we females do...... A a mid layer cotton hoodies may not be warm enough if bitterly cold. Fleecy zip ups are warmer. Evening : fresh warm thick socks to wear, rather than sweaty, smelly ski socks you have been in all day!! lol |
