On skiing lessons do they take u down the hills or do ya just stay on flat areas

No, you do it all indoors, on wooden floors. Takes about 4 days until you pass a test allowing you outside, but only with a helmet and body padding on.
You got all that stuff yet?

hi sm4sh

i think that you shall try and take lessons here in the uk, like the chill factore, and if you enjoy it, for me the most important thing was my own ski boots the rest jackets etc. i went to tk maxx or tresspass outlets, and beware once you start skiing you cant stop its like a bug. enjoy

Sorry Kateshaw my text ended up your quote. I need more practice with this add quote malarkey.

lol imagen that. u go away skiin and get locked in a room for a week. how come you got ur own boots? or did you get them when you had been a few times.
people keep saying its like a bug. hope its not that bad as i will only be going once a year!!

I wouldn't buy boots for your first ski trip. You can hire them in resort. Wait and see if you like it first before you start buying expensive kit like boots

yh i got all that with me lessons. i only going buy clothes. then if i like it ill buy the other stuff. hope i do like it. looks really good
