I'm a newbie on here too and have become a regualar addict.
I'm originally a midlander Amanda - not lived there for some time though. Now live in Hampshire with my hubby who has 2 children, they spend a fair amount of time with us, are nearly 10 and 13 - we are incredibly selfish in not taking the children skiing as they aren't interested at the moment, even though we ask them on a regular basis. My step daughter seems to think she can go on a skiing holiday and go swimming all day, every day :?:
I work at an architects as a secretary and spend most of my spare time on here much to the annoyance of my husband.
I spent much of my late teens and 20s working in ski resorts in France and Austria, I'm a big fan of skiing and boarding, although have recently reverted back to skiing after 12 years of boarding, now I'm a retired seasonaire I've joined the ranks of 'punters' on annual ski trips which I spend all year looking forward to.
If I win the lottery I'll take you all to my chalet for a big knees up.

What a fascinating thread - having started the process I aught to add a bit more about me. I am 61, married 37 years, live in Worthing, one son Jim, one dog - Cocker Spaniel - Cody. I retired in July 2007, and lucky me, with a public sector pension and lump sum, which, I have told the wife, I am now 'investing' in skiing (much better return in pleasure than a miserly 1%)). Long before Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freedman's Bucket List I had knocked up my list of things to do and places to go on retirement. Top of the list was skiing but I wasn't sure whether or how I could get started at 60 and who I could go with. Jim took sympathy on me and invited the 'old fart' to La Plagne with 3 of his mates, and now I am hooked. Got invited to Meribel last year with a chalet group of 16 thirtysomethings, (that was an eyeopener !!) and another group of 16 to St Anton in January this year and now planning a second trip in March. The J2SKI responses to my questions on St Anton were invaluable. Like many others have commented, I am also addicted to this site - is there a J2SKI Anonomous therapy session available to help we poor souls ?
