I have managed it over the last year to 18 mths, as Tony says never had a problem with weight till I sat on my backside for a living,
I have had to make the effort due to dodgy knees and alround ski fitness, I have found myself packing up at three in the afternoon, where before I was a first last lift monkey ….. So I am hoping this season I shall be a lot fitter, well thats the plan anyway, 8)

I think you've got it about right-ease yourself in. Alternatively, if you have access to a snow dome or dry slope spend a day there in the week before your ski holiday.

I'm always a little wary of recommending someone go on a dry slope the week before a holiday. An injury would be a disaster.

I would definitely agree with this one! I broke my shoulder on a dry ski slope 2 weeks before a ski holiday, and had to spend the holiday walking about the resort with my arm in a sling :(

These days I leave at least 6 weeks between going in a snow dome/going on a mini-ski holiday and my main ski holiday, just in case!
