Getting fit for skiing

Obviously I've picked up on this thread too late for the serious comments.....now down to pub exercise....!
Me? I'm off to tennis cardio (a lot of running around a tennis court without actually playing tennis) to try to raise my fitness before starting the gruelling "ski-fit" class at the gym.
First time for everything but the odd looks I got from instuctors when I enrolled was disconcerting!

Oh man, I thought skiing was something you did to get fit?!? Seems I have missed the boat on this lark.

Need a little bit of fitness to start with..combination of age, beer, office job and general lethargy = belly that would start an avalanche

might even cycle there but, possibly, not back

Me and Mr Nelly cycled to a friends for a cheese a wine evening in the summer, the journey back was extremely wobbly and Mr Nelly fell off his bike into the middle of the road :lol:
