Lesson learnt - if you've got carvers after skiing on straight ski's - learn how to use them properly

Got any tips to pass on from your lessons BB ??

I'm in a similar position to that you described but think I'm carving resonably well but maybe I'm missing something.

I've never had any lessons (apart from tips from mates who are instructors) so I'm (stupidly) very reluctant to have any now as I'll lose my self-taught status (in my mind anyway).

6 of us are doing a long weekend in mid-Jan and have been looking for the best transfer option.

Pre-booked taxi's seem outrageously expensive --- 900 euro.

Car hire is obviously an option (£180 for an Espace) but we're all partial to a beer or two and would like to start the weekend off in style on the way to the airport and on the plane itself so no one is too keen too drive on the way out.

Anyone got any good ideas or even better fancy driving our car hire for us on the way out ????
