Before I started on this great adventure I was advised to take up some ski lessons so that I would be familiar with the slope life, unfortunately though there was not any dry ski slopes close to where I lived at the time and to be honest the price it would of cost to pay for these lessons put me off. So, no lessons, no experience, no clue and no idea of what to expect I put my full trust in a friend who kindly taught me the basics and the famous 'snow plough'. Everything else just came naturally.
