Just gotta put a coat of wax on Mrs W new skis.

Don't wax them up to well otherwise she will be leaving you for dust

That will be a first, I'm normally trailing behind with video camera in hand but when push comes to shove she eats my snow !!!! SSshhhh but don't tell her :wink:

You never let them know that with the flick of a switch we go from being intermediates to 'could be professional if I wanted' )

Absolutely correct. And until the person with the fear realises that and that they alone are the only ones who can deal with it, nothing will change for them.

Watch the film Frozen 8)

I dont mind chair lifts at all, infact i quite like them. But that film is deffo one to miss if you have a fear of them.

A lot of resorts will have gondolas from village to mid station but after that you will be out of luck. As mentioned earlier, Tignes has the Funi which runs from village to glacier. The problem is you will spend a week skiing the same run/runs everyday.

I think that it's a good idea if you try to get a lesson on how to board/dismount (As mentioned) this should build confidence. Its actually quite peaceful and relaxing once on. If its heights she has a problem with maybe a pop at hypnotism may help? Not sure if it can be applied to this or if it would work but could be a shot in the dark.

Tony I fully admit I was on that wagon of considering a trip over the pond. But so far Europe is looking fantastic and it's a no brainer at the moment
