Preparing for your ski trip
- Don’t learn on the slopes
- Learn at a ski business near you to teach you the basics
- Don’t buy boots
- Unless you have funny-shaped feet, hire them there
- Sign up to mailing lists from ski hire places near your resort
- They’ll send you offers before you visit, which can sometimes be as much as 20-30% off
- Buy a daily pass rather than a full week
- As a beginner, you’ll likely want to take days off
- Don’t hire a ski in / ski out chalet
- The slopes they’re on are generally pretty easy, but even as a beginner, a gentle slope can be a daunting start to the day
- Keep it green
- The color-grading system showing easier and harder slopes differ slightly by country
- Pack a pair of boots in your bag
- Light boots can be a lifesaver. Ski boots are uncomfortable and hard to walk in if you’re not used to it
