good point

One of the 4 has declined a lesson ,so may be on my own at this rate ,or not bother and see how i get on???

Thanks for all your input,it was only going to be 1 lesson to get us back into it and knock out any bad habits we picked up from last year
The other 3 aren't fussed about having a lesson,so if its 90/110 Euros between us, they just come along but 170 euros, ill be doing it on my own.And theres only a few euros difference on the individual price
Sestriere = 80 euros
Sauze= 72 Euros or 9am offer 60 euros

I'm also puzzled why the lessons are more expensive in Sestriere..I've emailed the company offering the lessons and awaiting a reply

thanks nick

We were skiing reds in Pas des la casa so i guess we are intermediates??

I'm not sure if the lesson starts at 9am or between 9-10am ,we would never get there for 9 am but saying that how would anyone get there for 9am if the lift dont open until 9am.

There a big difference in price for a 2hour private lesson for 4 people
Sestriere = 170 Euros
Sauze = 110 euro or 9am offer 90 Euros

We are staying at sestriere but the ski lessons are about half the price in Sauze for a small group if you start at 9am-10am.I'm not sure what time the lifts start and if we could ski down in time

I tried on the O Frame/Catapult & A frame but the A Frame seem so much better looking and quality
So i went in to Snow and Rock and they priced matched the on-line Website which had an additional 25% off as well
£80 but got them for £48 delivered ..They seem to go for more than that on ebay scecond hand.. i hope i made the right choice

I always had the cheapie Aldi goggles ,they are perfectly fine for me but i want a bit more of a stylish pair
Do they make a mirrored pair that are ok for low light as well??
Oakley seem to do some nice ones but they are out of my price range ...Any other make new or second hand(ebay)

thanks

This reminds me of my first ever red last year in Pas De La Casa,the centre one(Directa)back into the resort.We thought we try it at the end of the first day.Its quite steep at the the top but i started of ok then hit a few moguls froze and ended up on the side of the piste.I edged half way down until it was a bit flatter and started again.
The hotel receptionist said it more of a black than a red at the end of the day where it gets so cut up
We did try the bottom half of a few black where the reds cut across them but the were only 300-400 yards long.

Cant wait now
