It's very difficult taking video of yourself while skiing, I'm sorry to disappoint, I will try to come up with some sort of harness so you can view my wonderful technique :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Wickers just hand the camcorder to Mrs W so she can capture you skiing in all your glory as you whizz down the slopes :D

I also think that, unofficially any way, very young children have right of way, especially if they're in a lesson. Imagine how awful it would be to flatten a 4 year old on their first ski holiday! I always try to keep right out of their way.

If I am teaching I try to make folks aware of safety from the off (even without explicitly stating the 'code').

I have joked if you are going to hit someone make it someone bigger than you, not only will they cushion your fall they are not going to be hurt as much. 15 stone of Ian Wickham :wink: vs 4 stone of Young Child would not be a pretty out come.
