After posting the permission form to ski with the boys, I received many "calls" to include a similar form for women. Seems many women want to ski "with the girls" and would love to present such a form to husband/boyfriend/lover.
We are working on it with a team of female tour organizers! They are having lots of fun creating a form that I am sure will beat all male forms!
Stay tuned.
* But first we have to send this form to the site administrators since the ladies really made this "form" very but very thought provoking!
Hope it passes the site staff!

Thanks Pavelski for officially recognising that girls need skiing holidays too!! :lol:
Last year I had a fantastic 2 week skiing holiday with my hubby & 7 year old. On my return, a friend invited me for a week away with her on a last minute 'cheap deal'. Initially I told her that I couldn't possibly go - how could I leave the boys to fend for themselves whilst I indulged myself in another week of skiing?
Despite my misgivings, my husband thought it would be a good idea (what could his motive be I thought?). I agreed to go, but then felt very guilty, had sleepless nights, stocked the freezer, made lots of lists, briefed my friends, called in after school child care favours - then set off.
I must say, it was a very liberating experience. I could ski all day without having to carry a rucksack full of snacks, water, spare gloves, glasses, goggles, hats etc. I didn't have to ski at the back in case my son fell over & needed helping up. I didn't have to make any sandwiches, pick up any socks or remember which sports kit to pack for school. I was able to go to bed early every night with a good book & my MP3 player. It was very strange not hearing the cry of "mum" every 30 seconds!
You may call me selfish - but I think everyone deserves a little "me" time every now & then! Girls - if you're hesitating about going without the boys - don't - you won't look back. Anyway, must go & search the web for a cheap deal for this year!!

Salski,
Thank you for the comments.
The girls are working hard on this form and really having a "fun" time improving on the male form!
It will be a hit.
You are so right about going skiing with the girls.
My wife was not a really fanatic skier like me until I gave her a surprise gift to go to a ski camp!
I had a new women skier! She gets up at 5 AM even in poor cold weather and is in the car before me. She now races in the women's circuit and even "stole" my racing SL World Cup skis!!
Every year now she goes "with the girls" to an unknown ski resort and all I know we men get no information about the week, except for smiles , giggles and blanck stares!
