The Holiday - Skiing

I suppose we couldn't go away on such a fab holiday without mentioning the skiing. Let's make no bones about it IT WAS TOUGH
We both found it quite hard. Dan from a beginner's perspective....

• doesn't like learning new things
• doesn't have very good balance or coordination
• doesn't like being told what to do

Me from an 'experienced skiier' point of view

• loves being taught new stuff
• knows how to ski reasonably well
• BUT am about 4 stone heavier than I was last skiing holiday
• my fitness was such that just WALKING with the skis wiped me out!

So lets just say it was a challenge for both of us! I think we overcame/worked around it quite well, and, realising our limitations, paced ourselves accordingly!
I think we did really well and skied within our limits, and really enjoyed ourselves. We didn't go too far out of our comfort zone as I didn't fancy being brought down in the blood wagon / helicopter. That said, we're deffo up for another one - we were only chatting about it last night - and it'd deffo be in the Les Arcs area (and probably the Arc1950 resort in particular) that we'd return to.
