Skiing is an out door sport and as such you need gear that will keep you warm and dry. Fundamentals are ski pants (waterproof and warm), a ski jacket, gloves, a hat (toque) and thin socks. Skiing is not all about balls - it is about balance. I have seen many friends - resolute to ski off-piste or bust - continue to bang their heads against their lack of skill until finally they learn to do it properly. Skiing is best in the East but the west is getting better. In fact any of the ski area should give some great sport. Skiing is a great sport but can be perilous. If you haven't had an accident on the slopes, you must know someone who has. Skiing is one of the few sports where men and women take part in teams. This is mainly because, along with golf, it is not in fact a sport but a piece of middle-class posing. Skiing is fun, so don't spoil it by taking needless risks, being banned from the mountain, or getting yourself prosecuted or tangled up in lawsuits! Skiing compared with off-pisting The snow is hardly ever light powder, but spring skiing offers very good pledge and yet more so if you're prepared to sweat for your turns. Off-pisting is other than skiing, and includes learning new skill to deal with continually shifting snow surfaces, Be sure to familiarize your self with the safety measures. From a beginner's off-piste class, to being dropped off on the top of a mountain by a helicopter, to 'ski tours' (survival skills, camping and rock-climbing skill are a must), off-piste skiing is a winter sport all of its own. Snowboarding and skiing trick and tips In Les Houches there are schools to instruct you how Snowboard. Snow quality is regularly superb until late in the season, as the lifts go up beyond 11,000 feet furthermore Snowboards can be rented. The runs from Plateau Rosa downhill to the village are long and diverse (Ventina piste is my favourites), as are the runs to Valtournanche are superb. Snowboarding is very cool and invigorating Snowy peaks sparkle as far as the eye can see, the winter sun, warm on the back, casts long shades across virgin snow and freshly fallen snow glistens on the branches of fir trees.
