Thanks to all for lots of sound advice!

Just wanted to leave a post to thank all those who have pointed me in many directions over the last few weeks and given lots of invaluable information to bear in mind before the wife and i embark on our first skiing holiday tomorrow.

We eventually decided that we would go to Arinsal, Andorra

.....but are off to Niederau, Austria instead! (dont ask!)

i'll be back in a week, bones intact i hope, and with pictures and tales to share

Happy skiing everyone!

Hi Dave, you were at the presentation nite at the harfenwirt?
My instuctor was Sepp, not the one on the mic with the glasses...he's the ski school head i think...the other Sepp, he got me up to play the cowbells!! great laugh :lol:
And i managed that gold medal i so craved!...missed out on 3rd place and a trophy by 0.3sec

Hi G.....yep pretty much working on this time next year...same place same time! it was awesome! by our last day of ski school too our instructor had 3 of us conquering a couple of black runs...so ileft the place on a real high! my missus was a bit hot and cold about the whole trip at different stages of the week...somedays she was enjoying it and others it was awful...women! :D but overall she's up for another time i think...an i reckon she'll enjoy it more next time as i would expect her ski ability to come on leaps and bounds after this her first week

Glad to hear you had a good time, a gold medal and a black run at the end of your first week - You must be a natural! :D

Re:Thanks to all for lots of sound advice!

Sounds like you had a great time .. even doing a black run on your first week. Something I didn't achieve.
Safe to say you've been bitten by the bug !

Have the same type of problems with my missus sometimes ... if it's snowing or lousy visibilty she's not keen on going up ... I, on the other hand, love it!

We have had at least 18 inches of snow in the last 2 days ... shame Denmark is so flat.

I'll have to fess up G that it wasn't my very first time, i went in 1995 for a week on a school trip, so i could snow plow and turn with it very quickly this time, our ski school group had all had some experience even if it was just on a dry slope, so it allowed us to progress pretty quickly....another thing that i think hindered my wifes enjoyment sometimes was seeing my group motoring on ahead and further up the mountain while her group were stuck on the baby slopes..as i said though once she got going with it she was happpier.

you got a set of those cross country type skis for the snow over there? :wink:

i saw a guy in them hiking his way up a steep black...madness i thought...just get the lift liek everyone else!! :D
