Nice one! Sue Dickson (Sue Baxter many moons ago) was one of the top instructors on Cairngorm when I worked up there - 31 years ago!
She's an outstanding BASI instructor (former trainer of BASI ski instructors) and gave my wife some instruction on the Tignes glacier years ago, which was the best ski teaching Jackie reckons she's ever had. After her marriage to Alain's father Ian Baxter she went on to marry Kenny Dickson, former director of BASI. They eventually moved to the 3 Valleys to found their ski school.
Hope Sue joins us here, sometime. Her input would be valuable.

I did a week's instruction with Sue in Courchevel several years ago. She was first class. Very gentle, but managed to push to whole class forward so that we made lots of improvement to technique and confidence.

Sounds a bit funny that marrying 2 people one after the other  Not normal even in the highlands of Scotland.

obelix67, not even in Utah, where some people do it the other way round.
I didn't share a chair lift with Martin "Butcher" Bell last week, but we did share a drink or two in the hot tub after he had sucessfully ruined lbt's career as a mouth model.

I fell off the chairlift last year in France.
Trying to shuffle onto the chair whilst the safety bar was still up and somehow shuffled forward rather than backwards and Haaaaaaa. 15 foot fall.
Wife and I still laugh about it now.

I shared a chair with John Smart, double olympic gold medallist in moguls. I then tried to follow him down catskinner. Given that I'd arrived the night before and there was a lot of nig moguls, I struggled, so at that point I retired gracefully from the guided tour he was leading...
