If French customs don't think you are "official" they may not let you in the country.

I was up the Fornet yesterday, some moguls forming but all soft ..good place to learn!

I would have imagined that that Wall run or whatever it's called would be a good place for Icy to get his mogul legs going???

Quite gentle conditions then?
booking learn to ski packages

If you are going with a tour operator then I would ask them.
Most packages that I have seen and/or used have come via the tour operator.

I haven't come across any fully inclusive deals that you are looking for, although they may well be available. Have you thought about getting in touch with the ski school in Soll and asking their advice?

They will know what to recommend in the way of lift pass etc. Many beginners don't need a lift pass for the first few days at least. The ski school will know.

Good luck - hope you enjoy yourself.

For me the difficult bit with moguls is that the slope tells me where I have to turn, whereas on a smooth piste I can choose.

I've never been very good with moguls - don't think I have the reaction times to manage them well.
:cry:

They are OK as long as the faces aren't too icy and there aren't too many people about. Busy mogul slope? My idea of skiing hell!

I focus on finishing each and every turn really crisply, this keeps my speed down and keeps me in control. In control means I am a happy skier.
:)
Love it !!!!!
