Oooh! I wish I could plan next year's trip so soon after getting back, but Easter is late next year & not really feeling it about Feb 1/2 term (sky high prices for a week on heavily congested slopes). So not sure what us Pesto's will do yet.

We've just got back from a great week in Cervinia. The weather was varied with 3 days a white out, but the slopes open, 1 day cloudy and 2 sunny! The white out really helped me relax and trust my legs, so not all bad... I preferred the sun though.

The white out produced lots of snow though, so the skiing was good.

I had post holiday come down yesterday, so I did lots of planning for our next trip to aid recovery Grin

Had a fab day today at Glencoe. The snow was a bit firm in the morning, but had softened up in the afternoon. Lower down was getting slushy and very hard going on the legs. Poor DD was practically asleep before we had driven out of the car park! Here's a pic of DS having fun in the park.

Thanks LovetoSki! We had an amazing week in Obergurgl, no lift queues, quiet slopes and great snow for the time of year. Best of all though was the sheer joy of eldest DC and I skiing together for the first time and seeing him love it every bit as much as I do! Already started Looking into 2017!

lovetoskimum · 25/04/2016 15:33

Ahh Princes that last bit got me !! I feel the same about skiing with our daughter, although I don't bomb down like hubby and daughter, I just love that we all love something and can do it as a family :)

I'm in full ski withdrawal. I'm booked for next season. I've got all the kit I can justify, the kids have everything they need. DH thinks I'm slightly bonkers and doesn't want to talk about it again I have no planning left. I've just got wait.
