Car Hire - cost of Snow Tires

I will be surprised if snow tyres are not included. Ring or email the car hire company/agent up.
Confidence

Many thanks to all your replies,

I feel so angry with myself as I do not usually lack confidence, I work in sales.

I have in the past hurt myself more - luckily not broke anything - fell of horses and cycles, rolled a snowmobile. I have skied and fell on ice in the past too. I seem to be suffering with vertigo more then fear of hurting myself as I was OK on the nursery slops - but I am not scared of heights, normally

I can snowboard but prefer skiing!

I think the suggestion of getting an instructor for an a few hours is good.

Hi to everyone here, name is Julie, I am 27 and live in Manchester

Been skiing 10 years now, most years go at least twice a year, so fairly competent. Had my share of falls and scrapes, skied into a ditch while racing a friend once, lost control in pitch dark and hit a bridge, but always got up and carried on, if not that day the next opportunity I got.

Last year had an opportunity to go late season. On my very last run I hit a ice patch and I fell, hurt my knee, got helped down by my father who was with me and a few weeks later I had forgotten about it.

Went on my own to Italy a couple weeks back, and found my confidence had gone. I felt hesitant and unsure

In a few weeks time going to France with some friends, who are all really good skiers

Anyone suffered such confidence loss before
