1. I would agree with HYMAC - go with TO for your first trip at least. Even if the local reps are pretty crap, they should still be capable of helping you get started.

2. In terms of resort, have a look through the brochures and try to get a sense of which ones you like - you can investigate further through websites like this one or www.skiclub.co.uk. Just remember as a beginner you dont need a big resort with lots of runs - you really only need a small number of runs suited to a beginner. The smaller resorts also tend to be cheaper :lol:.

3. Take lessons - preferably full-day. If you have been reading this site, you will realise that you never conquer this sport. As a beginner, you will enjoy yourself much more if you put the time into mastering the basics and a good instructor will push you along quite fast. For beginners, ski school is usually fun with a bunch of people in the same situation making the same mistakes and then the same progress :lol:

4. Get cracking - its time to book!!!

5. Enjoy :wink:
