Never been skiing. Help.

Hello Heavy - you do realise that this will be a life changing moment! The skiing bug tends to take over your life ) No doubt someone else will come along to give exact dates, but a potential problem with French resorts in February is the influx of skiers caused by various half terms.
Wherever you go, hope you all have a great time.

We flew to Grenoble with Thomas Cook in January and were pleasantly surprised. Check in was well supervised and quick and my husband (just over 6ft) casually asked if it was possible to have a seat with extra leg room and got one. Crew were good and catering was a tasty cooked breakfast. Luggage allowance was 20kg including boots. Sounds as though we were just lucky?

Not many mountains to practice on round Norwich, but the lycra shorts sound interesting!

Haven't understood the long words in this post but the last two comments are priceless and made me laugh out loud!!!
Surely the most important thing is do these skis match your jacket and salopettes or will you have to buy new ones?

Glad you had an enjoyable holiday and clearly made great progress in the lessons. So next time you will be able to ski the links from Folgarida/Marilleva over to Madonna. There is a black in Madonna called something like Amazon or Amazonia which you should do - it is wide and tree-lined and great for confidence building! It was my second ever black and the first I managed upright all the way down!
