I think everyone should come on this, it'll be a right old laugh.. plus the more people we get the less it should cost (in theory)

Love to do this.
It's been a while since I skied on snow and last time I was on a dry ski slope I almost killed someone - it was her fault honest
!
Maybe we could organise a group session at one of those indoor places as a refresher or for those that can't ski?

Lessons are the way forward I feel, no point wasting valuable/quality ski time on the real slopes when we can learn here

Go the one in Milton Keynes it has snow and is a lot better than the dry ski slopes. Get a load of us together and do a group booking.

before anything is booked at MK, we need to tell them about being beginners as I've just been told that they may not let us in if we can't do linked turns (what ever they are)

I saw somewhere - think it was MK that did a 1 day beginners course, along the lines of learn to ski in a day. I think it was about £100.
