Title says it really.
Me, DH and 3kids looking to go away next Christmas. DH very keen to try skiing as he gets the P taken out of him a bit at work for not having skied before.
Kids will be 8, 6 and 4.
I have no idea where to look and I'm quite anxious as I hate stressful holidays. Kids will need ski school I guess and we will both need lessons.
No idea what sort of accomodation we should be looking at. I would like to avoid somewhere trendy where all the experienced skiers go. My ideal (though I'm sure this is unrealistic) is somewhere pretty much geared towards beginners.
Do I need ski in/out? I'm not even sure what that means and what the benefits of it are.
Do I take the children to lessons then go to mine or is that too easy?
I'd rather be right in the thick of it as my idea of holiday hell is having to drag everything to a set point then wait for transfers etc.
Also, I'd like things to do other than ski and somewhere that would be very child orientated for Christmas rather than a party atmosphere.
Sorry for so many questions, I have looked in the archives but they just left me more confused than ever.
