 Poster: A snowHead

If you can manage it, book two trips. Pootle around with your GF, make sure she has a great time and accept that you might not get much opportunity to do anything gnarly. Then book a week on a bash or with snoworks or the skiclub and ski all day with other similarly minded skiers.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've met quite a few people over the years who've either taken full days or half days to do things like go to the spa, just wander around, sit in the tub, or in some cases, sleep off a monumental hangover.
Not sue I could justify to myself NOT skiing or boarding when it's cost an arm and a leg. Even soldiered through the worst hangover of recent times because I wanted my money's worth from the lift pass. Seen the morning trying to time gondolas so no one else was in them, and eying up the snowboard condoms as potential puking vessels

I've twice gon out to ski with a hangover, and both times, itr was gone within two runs.
Skiing seems to be a great hangover cure

@alex_heney, I had to save face in front of my son, it was bad enough Mum never made it out of bed that day. He would have ripped me if I'd wasted a day of skiing

Two suggestions I could give to the OP - both from old posts on here
Read the Girlfriend Skiing chapter in Skiing with Demons
and if that doesn't help www.ski-bunnies.com/ may be, mmm, of use

@knackered knees, Sounds like the OP is well into the "Wife Skiing" stage already.
| Quote: |
Wife Skiing happens when a husband persuades his nervous wife to ski with him under the false pretence that his ambitions for the day are modest. Invariably he ends up shouting at her when she goes-ostrich at the top of a difficult run. Secretly, he’s a Ski Nazi and wants to do the polar opposite of GF skiing during his precious week on the slopes. Wife skiing can often lead to divorce – although on-piste domestics are usually just small apertures into a deeper crevasse of marital disharmony that opens on family skiing holidays.
