Hi there,

Are you hiring your equipment?...and where is your lesson, dry slope or snowdome? Which ever, make sure your boots fit properly, if they are too tight it will wreck u on the button lift and if not then you'll loose leaverage on your turns. I suggest if hiring, better too get them at least a size up and wear more sockies!

Also, I found whilst learning that my knees took more of a beating than my arse , if you can it's a good idea to get some knee pads. You should be able to buy them cheap where ever it is your learning.

Other than that ,if your having lessons you'llbe in good hands, have a good time babes

The place we're off to is called Xscape at Castleford. Its an indoor place with real snow slopes. All the stuff will be hired when we get there. There are other things to do too........ice wall, skatepark skiing. If it all pans out it could be a regular thing. the place is only 20 mins away. Thanks for the advice tho.........
