It is a love of being in the mountains and cold snowy landscapes that still appeals to me. Whether the Alps or Antarctica, skiing takes you to all these places. I have many more to explore which is exciting.
I am an Alpine and Telemark skier.
Favourite resorts: Crans-Montana, Val d’Isere and Zermatt.
Ski seasons: Two in Val d'Isère, over 10 years in Crans-Montana and Méribel.
Favourite properties: The Arula Chalets in Lech, Chalet Grace in Zermatt and Chalet Abade in Val d’Isere
Favourite lunch and après: Le Panoramic in Tignes. Be prepared to get settled in. Make sure you time it right to get the Tufs lift back to Val d’Isere, mind you. There's also nothing quite like the sun terrace of Edelweiss in Val d’Isere late season... only a short ski home.
My tip: You can never stop learning, and this is particularly true when it comes to skiing. Always budget for a ski instructor or guide, as it will enable you to get so much more out of your holiday. It's also a good idea to book afternoon group lessons at New Year and Half Term: no morning rush, lessons are quieter, and there are no queues. The children can learn whilst you enjoy lunch guilt-free, having skied with the children in the morning and avoiding the interruptions (“please can we go skiing now”...)
