Ski trips for novices: Getting the basics right

Ok, so it’s your first ski holidays and you are thinking to yourself; what should I purchase, what should I pack, which destination will be best for me?

The first thing you need to do is to get your gear organised. If you are expecting to make skiing trips a common thing then you’ll want to invest in some equipment. What will you want to buy? Well, the most vital thing is clothing, numerous layers will ensure you are not cold as it holds air between your many layers which your body heat then heats up, keeping you moving on the mountains. The layer against your skin should be made up from a version of thermal underwear, yes I know, you’ll look like someone from the Old West, but really you’ll be glad of the the long johns when out on the slope all day.

Ski jackets and weather resistant[spin] [spin]trousers are sold in all snow stores and there is a great selection to buy from. These can be expensive so shopping amongst the sales is a smart way to save literally hundreds of pounds. If you’re undecided whether you will return to the slopes beyond your initial trip then try to borrow some clothing from a friend of comparable size to you or there is the option at most resorts to rent clothing. You’ll also want some ski goggles, shades, very thick socks and sun lotion, yes sun lotion , snow reflects UV rays rather than absorb them which results in red faces after a day of exposed skiing.

How to pick your resort

Don’t opt for the first resort your hear of. You don’t want to bumble in and pick a destination where there is nothing available for newbies. Make sure where ever you book has skiing holidays for beginners or you may find yourself standing on the balcony watching the pros jump through the air in envy.

So, the best place to start is by finding a selection of locations that provide specifically for beginner’s. La Plagne ski holidays are extremely popular and the area is picturesque. If you are travelling as a family then make sure the destination has something for everyone, from the smaller ones all the way up to overly confident teenagers. Make sure the destination have beginner’s routes and beginner skiing lessons at the bottom of the range. Also, consider whether you can you book a room next to the first timers areas?

Additional expense
Many new skiers are taken aback by the expense of a skiing trip. Even if you manage to book a last-minute flight at discount rates, you will need to source reasonable accommodation (remember the closer to the destination you get thehigher the cost will become). There are also the costs involved in hiring equipment, skis, getting onto the slopes, ski lifts and of course the extortionate cost of that essential pint. If this is your first break, and you are not accompanied by a more experienced skier, then you will probably want to reserve skiing tutoring. These are pricey and with all the other expenses, your holiday can quickly grow.

Packaged skiing breaks for beginner’s which include flights, hotel transfers, tuition and equipment can be a more attractive option for beginner’s. If you love your trip, then you can start buying your own gear and finding regular, afforable accommodation as your knowledge of destinations increases.

There are hundreds of resorts you could visit as a beginner. Travel and accommodation in France is very competitive and easily accessible for most European countries. La Plagne in the Paradiski mountain range of France is just one area renowned for its picturesque slopes. Snow Chateaux offers luxury La Plagne ski chalets close to the slopes that are full of modern features such as Wi-Fi access, PC’s, wide screen TVs, games rooms, Xbox, iPod connections and of course a sauna/Jacuzzi.
