I was trying to pluck up the courage to go on an organised group week in Morzine last year which included lessons but chickened out. Got something sorted this year though and off to Zell am See next Saturday with a non skiing friend so am really looking forward to it. Hope you get your boots sorted as I am sure there are some Welsh J2skiers who will help you out.
Howdy Ria.
Mr. Muggles having a golfing habit is perfect!
His and your chosen sports are so similar that he should comprehend the technical aspect, the need to practice regularly and the need for expensive shiny things. Thus he should have no problem with you spending half the household income on ski kit and running off a couple of times a year skiing...
As it happens I'm of to Morzine. Liked it last year so back again this. If you have another chance just do it!
(Note to Admin:- Is it breaking forum policy to try to tempt a member to abandon her husband on a golf course and meet up with me in a foreign country?) :shock:
Ally – I hadn't though of trains. :oops: Doh! That might be a plan if the local option doesn't pan out. Thanks. :thumbup:
Bluebird – Thanks muchley. Brilliant fist hand advice. Why didn't I join this forum earlier? Thanks for answering my question and giving me a direction to head in. Cheers.
Ltd – Interesting. Good enough to inspire a ski instructor is pretty good! Thankyou.
Tempting to do the unthinkable (take a day off work) and go and have a look at a couple of shops. Maybe if I say I'll give a free plug on J2Ski they'll give me free boots and all the skis I can carry!
Cheers all,
Owen.
