 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm off with my daughter to Sauze d'Oulx in a few weeks time. Reading the news groups, there seems to be mixed reviews and many horror stories on ski hire.
Any real experiences/advice?

I went last year with my eldest for her first ski trip - she was five - and it worked much better than I hoped.
For her, the kids ski school area at Sportina was nice and there was a snow garden next to it that she could play in whilst supervised.
For me, the area was much better than I'd anticipated and the locals very friendly.
How old is your daughter, and what level do you both ski at?

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

I'd cancel if I were you - I heard there's a big group of hooligans from Telford Ski Centre going on 14th March

My daughter is 6 and has been skiing for 2 years, around an early intermediate. I would probably describe my-self as an intermediate (Telford Mike, care to comment on my skiing level, from experience). Were both short on snow miles (3 weeks on snow so far), but have a vast number of palstic miles under our belts.
It's the ski hire horror stories that worry me. I've been spoilt by first rate Swiss hire shops to date.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've used Faure Sports every trip until I bought my own kit. They will pass off any old rubbish if they can get away with it. But they have some decent kit if you press them.

FAQ
but the words 'bold' and 'intermediate' spring to mind. You really need to brush up on your drinking though
