Anyone use walkie talkies?

I would keep putting your daughter in lessons, (lessons or not) she will improve now at a much faster rate than you and you are just going to end up having her wait for you longer! Your alternative is to go an extra skiing holiday a year over what she has in an attempt to keep up :wink:

I brought mine from ebay cost around £25, just be careful you really want the ones with the higher range like I said before mine are 6k's, some of the cheaper ones are a lot less :wink:

Thanks for that Ally, that's what I was getting at :-) Us kidz are just too fast :wink:

I don't know, ours are pretty cheap Binatone ones?! They are seriously good. Maybe we lucked out.

That sounds really good. Mine are ancient, but might think about investing in some hands free ones for next season.

Don't even try to keep up. When they learn at a young age like that, you will never ever be as good as they eventually are............IMO :( but true

You are so right, Eljay. I just love seeing the little ones having their lessons. They look so cute!

Cute and fearless. My kids learned to ski at 7 and 8 years old. They are now 24 and 25 years old and although my daughter had not been skiing for 7 years, she came with me this year and it was as though she had never missed a year. I on the other hand have skied every one of those 7 years and she is MUCH better than me! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

What I really enjoy not only seeing Little W improving her skiing year on year but the passion and enthusiasm she has for it, I am actually dumb founded at the enjoyment she shows, I do hope it lasts :wink:

Well,
I am not totally chucking in the towel on this. Maybe my daughter will get interested in boys on motorbikes, or something, and while she's chasing them I can carry on ski-ing (and get better than her :lol:.

But in a couple of years I will need to find someone to ski with, I think, because even if she does carry on ski-ing it will probably be with new friends from Uni, and I'm sure she won't want her slow old mother tagging along.

Do they do groups for us parents to join up with after our kids have flown the nest?

I can admit, that I will never be as good as she is, and she was more than happy to come along with her Mammy...............we had a blast. In fact I'm still recovering :P
