Finally I'm enjoying my skiing, and not a single fall in 49km of skiing, at a max pace of 73kph :)



Love it. But it reminds me of my second week of skiing when I returned to the hotel and proudly recounted my no-falls day to be told, 'well if you haven't fallen over at least 3 times in a day, you aren't trying hard enough' :(

I reckon it was probably sour grapes.

When my sons were not quite teenagers, I was leading them back from La Rosiere to La Thuile. Glancing over my shoulder, I happened to remark that I had not fallen for 12 years.
BANG!

Hi Oldelblerto, welcome to J2ski.

there is a pretty good chance for you. Keep your eye on:

The temperature just now is 1.6 deg, which is much colder than some of the alps. Wind is a factor, and there were 100mph gusts yesterday!

Ihave a Dec trip booked, so I amsure it will be great!
I have used skiset loads, with the J2ski discount code ~ they have always delivered.

Hmmmmaaaa, a virtual Chemmy......

I am a bit reluctant on this, since in my early season days, reps were the subject of, errm, extended evening enterprises. On this basis, Inghams had by far, the best offer. Thomsons did come highly recommended....

Later, much much later, and by then, totally unconstrained from any non-value views on the subject, I discovered, for totally unrelated reasons, Inghams also seemed to have the best trained, and most knowledgeable individuals. That is not to say that there were some great individuals from other companies, ~ there were.

There was a northern company called Hards, but I would be forbidden, on this site, for drawing any inferences for ladies' preference for this company.

Sadly, Inghams management has undergone recent change, and it would appear there is a downward trend in demanded capabilities. There are still some great skiers working for many companies....
