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 :-)

My wife skis but doesn't share my enthusiasm, i.e. a week per year is enough for her and like to take other holidays.

We compromise and I go off on my own, best of both worlds.

Your lucky, Mine wont ski at all.

Managed to get her to try an hour at Hemel under Spyderjons wifes excellent tuteledge, but it was obviosly too good as after an hour of snowploughing on the 3 degree slope, she announce skiing was too easy, boring and not challenging. She had mastered it and couldnt be bothered to go on a trip for something so easy

Fortunately she will allow me a couple of trips a year with some friends

We already had a week in Les Arcs and that is enough for her. She claims it's not a holiday for her as its just too much effort.
I see her point, a ski trip is not relaxing like a week on the beach but i have the passion and she does not.

As we have a little one leaving her home alone is not easy, it would mean her taking a week off work to as she normally works evenings. Its very difficult.

I have the money to travel but not the lifestyle......p**ses me off massively

At least you've got one! Smile

I'm having trouble finding one that...

enjoys skiing (and I'd even pay for the holiday(s)!)
happy to join in on the red-wine drinking when no skiing...


I think it falls down when cold, wet, muddy weekends in Wales, rallying motorcycles comes into it, especially as it's often camping... (note to self, get that camper van on the road!)

What sort of holiday was it? Was it a DIY, self catered and sharing the childcare? In which case what about goin to one of the family focused holidays which are catered and offer childcare? Our holiday with Esprit in Dec 2010 felt like the first real holiday for a very long time as I didnt spend a lot of time shopping, cooking and clearing up archer wards. Having the baby listening on evening meant we could get both the girls settled in bed and asleep then go down to dinner which was all cooked for us, have the odd glass or 3 of wine with it and really relax and enjoy the evening.

Maybe you just need to wait until your little one is old enough to go away with you on your own - this year will be second time I have taken my 2 on my own... First time was just a few days tagged onto end of trip to Seattle when they were 6 and 8..... Full week would have been too much for little one not to need shorter days at that point. This year will be full week and E now 8 quite ok all day (presuming Easiski doesn't wear them out too much)
I abs love skiing with the kids - they whine far less/ want to ski more than their father!!

Bloody hell, reading these threads makes me agree with my friends for once, how the hell am I single?! 

I want a man (boyfriend please, no husbands – too much effort apparently wink) who:
- Loves skiing and is willing to go every weekend, and every day off in winter (boarders are acceptable, as long as they don’t need towing too much!)
- Pays his own way NehNeh
- Is willing to watch rugby and F1, and discuss them in depth – or stay quiet and not complain when I’m watching! Willingness to attend actual races is a bonus.
- Doesn’t like soccer, or at least will never ever expect me to watch it
- Will fully partake in après including copious amounts of beer, wine, shots, cocktails, dancing on tables and general merriment. Participation in summer versions also mandatory. Must be able to keep up – being outdrunk by a girl isn’t cool Toofy Grin
- Likes motorbikes, scuba diving, hiking, kayaking, cycling in the summer
- Loves live music and festivals
- Is house trained – ah, that would be the problem then!

Doh! Go on your own, wife stays at home and looks after the little one, while you get some quality skiing in. Join a Snoworks or Warren Miller type course to ski with others. You'll have a great time.

I couldn't imagine having a partner who doesn't do snowsports, in fact I frequently out-hardcore my boyf as he is a softie when it comes to getting up early and actually getting a full day out there!
I feel for those of you who don't have it easy Sad Sad Sad Sad
I totally understand by what you mean with skiing being 'your passion' it is the same for me with sports and the outdoors, there's no way I could stop doing it for anyone.

fixx, I don't think I'd like to be in a relationship with someone who wanted to do everything I wanted to do all the time! Bit of overlap of interests is obviously good, but I enjoy the fact I have some interests that are mine and that I pursue either on my own or with my friends, and OH has stuff he does on his own or with his friends.

Corduroy, you reckon you have wife issues. I started a ski company and am married to a woman who doesn't like mountains.

Thankfully she's very supportive of what I do and lets me go on my own and I figure opposites attract so I'll not be looking for a down grade any time soon. wink

This works a treat. Also means I do not have to go to any cozy hotels for spa breaks. TFFT.

Cozy- not my word.

Spa- NO thanks , rather ski , golf or grand prix.

Tell me about it!

I was in a bar last week with one of Scarpa's mates who had just arrived in the valley. At the end of the evening, it occurred to me that I had been the only woman in the bar the entire time. If it was London, I would have assumed I had wandered into a gay bar.

Get thee to Chamonix fixx but be prepared to trade in the rugby for ice hockey. Oh and there's a saying here: the odds are good but the goods are odd.

"the odds are good but the goods are odd" Laughing

It's a combination of lots of bangs on the 'ead while learning to ski and then the time spent at altitude.
