Hi, can anyone give me any idea about how good (or bad) the snow might be in this resort for ski trip booked for departure 21/3. it will be only our second ski trip, we went to Romania last year and it was really good, booked originally for 28th feb this year, thought i would try to improve my pathetic attempts fell and broke my wrist. now unsure if i have left it late for good snow. :( thanks.

This year aged 57 husband had 58th birthday while away. We went to romania and loved it. from complete beginners to husband skiing down the mountain, me just not confident enough. we cannot wait to go again really sorry we left if so long

we are going for our first ski holiday on saturday. going to Romania on all inclusive, not felt this excited about a holiday in a long time. went to the chill factor for a taster lesson loved it and managed not to fall over but did feel had bridget jones moment. happy skiing to everyone going this weekend.

Hi everyone thanks for taking time to reply. after lots of researching and looking at tripadvisor holidays uncovered etc have now booked very first ski holiday.

we went to several trav. agents (unsure about making arrangement myself) and we have booked one week all inclusive Sport Hotel in Romania. We were given prices ranging from £1500-1800 for exactly the same package but then asked for the week after comm 16th Feb and it came out £1000 for everything. have been told not to expect luxurious but hotels clean, warm and with plentiful food.

most reviewers said beginners skiing was really good. downside three and half hr transfer. we are now really excited and cant wait, we have talked about a skiing holiday for years but always ended up going to the beach. My cheeky dad said 'you've left it a bit late'....we are both 57yrs but pretty fit. Husband has already been out to buy ski jacket and gloves. and if we dont take to it we figured it hasn't cost arm and a leg. so thats us sorted (hopefully) if anyone has any advice for absolute beginners it will be very welcome. happy skiing to everyone. :)

Hi everyone its my first time of posting and i would love some advice from anyone. after long deliberation we have finalyy decided to book a skiing holiday.
the problem is i have no idea..where to go, stay, how to organise ski packs passes etc. do i book here or wait till i get to accomodation. someone suggested austria to me is that a good place for a complete beginner any other suggestions please.
what do you think of rumania, one problem is i have booked my A/L the week that is 1/2 term am i liable to pay exorbitant prices for that week. any advice would be gratefully appreciated i really want to go but not make a mess of it. many thanks. :(
