However, it hurts like hell when you fall and once you've been on real snow, there is just no comparison.

If you live near one of the snowdomes / xscapes or whatever their names are, these are also really good, but expensive. These are also top just to get yourself 'warmed up' before going on a regular holiday.

Anyways, let me take this opportunity to plug a beginners week I'm running in Morzine, where no experience in the slightest is required!!

Learn to ski or learn to snowboard on the snow! in the mountains!!

For all J2skiers there is 10% off so take a look and see what you think

Cheers me dears
