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 :-)

In six weeks time I will be going on a 2 week 'learn to ski' holiday. I have some Nordic experience but wish to do some downhill before I start proper (telemark) skiing. I currently visit the gym 5 times a week and do about 700 calories worth of exercise on various aerobic machines eg elliptical trainer, rowing machine etc
What else should I be doing to prepare for the beginner downhill/parallel skiing experience?
Thanks in advance
Bob

Welcome to

. I thing you'll be fine, but I expect someone more expert will be along shortly with some proper advice. Could you not go straight to Telemark Skiing and miss out the Alpine stage, or would that be to complicated? Just a thought.
