im not sure about these dry slope lessons

seem to be for taking your money more than anything else.

i learnt on a mountain, taught by a friend, in about 6 hours....and i paralell turning by the end of the day.

nothing beats the real thing.

Hi all,

First post! Let me introduce myself (breifly).

Im Sami, and I love skiing.

Eh...I had one amazing day on Mnt Cairngorm during Easter this year, now Im hooked. Now my partner, she learnt to ski about 12 years ago wen she was a kid (private school)...we had an hour or so at Xscape a couple weeks ago (not amazing) and it seemed to come back to her quite quickly.

So basically, we are both beginners.

Im looking to have a week in the alps some time in Jan '09.

To be honest...the price is one of my main considerations...I just started paying off my student debts and what not...Id say aroun £1000 for everything for both of us.

Not too picky about night life (apres ski?), and ideally id like to stay close to the slopes. ski in/out looks amazing but maybe save that for another year!

I live in Glasgow, hence the name, but could fly from other uk airports for a better deal.

So yeah, any advice and/or recommendations would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Sami
