" As a beginner skier, the thought of an entire
holiday on the slopes can be daunting. To help
you feel less intim- idated and more likely to
enjoy your- self from day one, here are some top
tips for first time skiers.
Get Fit Skiing is a physically taxing activ-
ity, so even without actual ski ex- perience it
makes sense to be as physically fit as possible
before going. Introducing an exercise regime in
preparation helps your body get ready and makes
you less likely to want to quit from tiredness
once you make it to the slopes.
Practice Indoor ski slopes offer opportuni- ties
to learn and practice some of the more basic
moves before your holiday begins.

Get Instruction Many beginner skiers find them-
selves on holiday with people of mixed
abilities. While some more experienced friends
may express a desire to teach you, it is far
bet- ter to book into a professional ski school
for the first day or two. That way, your more
experienced friends will be able to enjoy more
challenging runs while you build up your skills.
