Actually Tony, when I was in La Rosiere a couple of years ago, one of my ski instructors decided it would be fun to rock the chair lift when I was sitting in it with him and another pupil, and I had to ask him to stop because it was making me feel quite sick (and it was my French ski class but luckily I remembered that it's called 'mal de mer').

The pound has improved a bit more against the euro. Today (19th Jan) at 8 a.m. Visa was quoting an exchange rate of 113.5899 euros for £100.

I get sea sick and car sick, but I'm fine in a chair lift as long as no-one rocks it (which you're not supposed to do anyway).

A tough one that as aborting is probably not really an option as your insurance is unlikely to pay out for the whole family just because one injured.
I am sure they expect you all to go without him and just pay out on him!!! Scandalous.
But i could be wrong.

I would think the insurers would pay for all of you, seeing as he's only 13 years old.

I broke my shoulder 2 weeks before our first family ski-ing holiday, when my kids were young, and I told my insurers about it but said we hadn't made up our minds yet what we were going to do - cancel the holiday or all go but only the kids ski. They said they were quite happy to pay cancellation for all of us.

In the end, we did go and I walked about with my arm in a sling. It was very hard on me though, and I was very tempted to try ski-ing. I didn't however, because I'd looked up my fracture on the internet, before we left, and seen that if it got worse it might have to be pinned and all sorts of dreadful things.

Are you planning on ski-ing in Feb half-term? I think that makes a difference, because if you want to ski in school holidays you will have to wait until Easter if you cancel.

I think if it was me I'd cancel now and re-book for Easter (if possible). There could be complications with the break (although I hope not) and they might not take the cast off, or they might say he shouldn't ski on it.

I guess it's a matter of listening to the doctors and then having a family meeting about it, seeing as you are all affected by the decision.

Best of luck with deciding what to do :D, and I hope the wrist heals without any problems.

Although Attention Deficit hyperactive holidays sound cool...ADHH! :lol:

Maybe that's what Tony's baggage handlers were suffering from, when they forgot to put his stuff on the plane :D

Can we have the sock back please Tony? I mean your new skis are very nice :D, but they're not as nice as that old sock :D.

I am suffering from sock withdrawal symptoms :cry:
