I straight out asked my local high street travel agent why i should use them.
I asked what they could do for me in store that i could not do online direct with the TO. I asked if they could get me a better deal.

The answer was straight forward and honest. Nothing and No.

I walked out and booked directly.

Go to one of their shops then ;-)

I only every go into a Travel Agent to pick up brochures, i book everything online

Dave, please don't take offence to this comment, i really don't mean it the way it may sound.

But a fall at 100kph for a man of your later years is bloody scary. Glad you are ok.

Sorry bad choice of words. Of course the length of run has no bearing on how you turn. I simply meant its frustrating that one you have made a few turns the run is over.

I don't think these guys would agree with you.

I pretty sure they wouldn't being as its their business.

For me i find the runs indoors far to short, just as i find myself getting into my stride the snow runs out and its back on the lift.
Im sure theses lessons do have a value for many, in fact i have already been set straight by others, but this is just my opinion.

On a different note, that snow in those vids looks better than Tamworth thats for sure.

I wouldn't waste your money taking lessons indoors, the slopes are to short to get a decent run to really perfect your parallel turns.

Save your money for your next trip.

I've never used them and to be honest i don't think i ever will. Their website is awful and it always seems to crash on me so i have never really even had the opportunity to look at their offerings.

Would it put you off booking with Neilsen for next year...?
