Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

Hi all,

I have finally persuaded the other half to come skiing, in the hope that it will become a regular thing!

In order to get her agreement I had to organise a different trip to what I usually would, catered chalet with a sauna & hot tub, private transfers and flights at agreeable time’s!!!

I learnt as a kid, and will ski anything, so I can’t really get into her mindset. She’s fairly nervous and is worried about being cold and not enjoying it/not being able to to it etc (I’ve told her it’s bloody March in France and I’ll book her lessons!!)

My question is, what else can I do to make sure she enjoys the trip? Any help would be great!

Make sure she has good thermally active and cool clothing so that sorts the I'll be cold meme.

A very good and sympathetic instructor.

Comfy well fitting boots and no faff clothes. And your immense patience on days 1 and 2 should pay off by days 4 and 5. Maybe a snow dome lesson(s) beforehand to ease her fears. Hope she loves it.

Ultra-light boots.

Ultra-light skis.

Neck- and wrist-gaiters.

Private lessons (with a woman).

Go to gym, every day, from now to March 2020.

Light, warm, fit, balanced.

Makes skiing way more enjoyable.

@LDP816,

Pretty much what @under a new name, said. Do NOT under any circumstances try and teach her yourself!

In fact, encourage her to ski with friends she makes in ski school for at least the first three days!

And ski with her no matter how much of a grind it is- because you want to- and make it obvious you do.

If you are skiing together towards the end of the week, why not plan ahead and find somewhere picturesque for a mountain top lunch or drink. Make it somewhere that is a nice skiing distance away, but emphasize the destination not the journey. When both my kids and my wife were beginners, it was interesting that they would be much more happy to ski distances if they were 'on their way' somewhere. Whereas if I asked them to ski for another hour (or whatever) that was less appealing.
