So far DH has taken our kids skiing but this will be the first time as a family over the half term. I’ve only been skiing a couple times and it was over 20 years ago. I’ve been resistant thus far as I’m 45 and afraid of getting injured, but I’d like to be able to do this as a family holiday and set an example to the kids to try new things, even if they’re a bit scary. ;) But now that it’s almost here I’m terrified!! Signed up for 3 days of group lessons (can probably add another day if I like it). Am I nuts? Any words of wisdom from those who have BTDT?

Any advice on where would be a good resort to head to for beginners with some other snow based activities to try?

Lots of places have snow-shoeing trails if that appeals? You can find out via the tourist information bureau.
