Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

After months of cajoling, failed meet ups in Morzine and "just do it" type comments from myself and various BASS instructors....

Not only did she book it, she passed it!

Well done Sarah!

Lots of hard work has paid off!

Thanks kitenski and spyderjon Very Happy Much appreciated! And thanks for keeping my secret safe, guys Embarassed

spyderjon my skis performed admirably thank you Cool

Honestly, I don't know what I am feeling now, it's more of an enormous relief than elation at the moment Laughing

It's been a very tough week! Had a beer with the other guys on the course and am now home where my long suffering husband is bringing me champagne and tapas Very Happy

I was the one in the orange ski jacket, black pants ( and need to loose weight Crying or Very sad ).

Wish I could have made it today but did not get finished with work on Thursday and by time finished today it was getting close to teatime and traffic round Trafford Centre is hell so will be going back on Monday.

speed098, when were you there? I don't recall seeing anyone of that description, then again to say I was totally focussed on the course would be an understatement Laughing There could have been people skiing naked and I may not have noticed them, that's how wrapped up I was Laughing

I was there Monday and Tuesday for two hours each day around late morning and on Wednesday for most of the day, started around 10:30 am and finished around 4:30.

What colour jacket were you wearing ? I did not talk to any of the ladies on the course but did speak to a few of the guys in the lift queue and at the top ( the younger lad and the guy in the drab green jacket ).

There was a lady with a purple jacket and pants another with a turquoise jacket and black pants and another with sky blue jacket and pink pants not sure which was you and would have said hi if I had known.

Was not sure about the young lad in the blue hoody he was struggling with short turns but was working really hard to improve.

Can say this next bit now wink

Part of what I was talking to Andy about was how you were all a high std for L1.

Yep part of my discussion with Andy wink



If you find others above your std and the person taking the course likes what they are doing just look on them as extra demo's of what you need to work on. Keeps things fresher in your mind for each run. ( just make sure what they are doing is right though wink ).

Agree with speed098, strong skiers in the group can be a good thing if it pushes others on. Might feel. intimidating when an assessment is going on, but skiing with better skiers is often touted as the best way to improve.

speed098, balernoStu, yes I can see that and a lot of stuff we did involved us working in pairs on stuff which was really good. It did definitely feel intimidating initially though as some of them were so far above the level.

franzClammer, thank you very much Very Happy But I am not young, I was the oldest on my course by far, that was tough too Laughing And you will not know this but you provided me with a lot of motivation to go and do it in the end, so thanks for that Smile
