:shock: I didn't think anyone else in the world had a mum like mine!

She was having private lessons with an instructor and he seemed to be incredibly patient and kind. I think she got on fine. You're never too old to try something new (in fact it's good for the brain to take on new challenges).

Hopefully she will enjoy it and be skiing with me by the end of the week.

Anyone recommend any good schools or hire places for her to use?

Also having never been to Chamonix can anyone recommend things for her to do if she doesn't take to skiing?

One advantage for her is she gets a discounted lift pass!

Thanks
