We stayed in the "Silverski" apartment attached to the company owners' winter residence.Some of the H&V Speedway fans might have heard of Len Silver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Len_Silver), former manager of the England team. At 78, Len is still skiing every day and is a great character.
I've got my first ever skiing trip mid Jan, to Austria. Short break with the lads. Bit nervous tbh, having never been skiing before. How hard is to get the basics sorted? I won't be the only complete novice thankfully.

How hard is to get the basics sorted? I won't be the only complete novice thankfully.Have a couple of lessons at an indoor slope. The key thing is learning how to stop and how to get up when you fall down. The actual skiing bit isn’t too difficult to pick upI learned the basics at Tamworth but haven’t been there for a few years.
