SkiBeginner

The essential guide to skiing from the beginner's perspective

SkiBeginner is about helping anyone - from the young through to the young at heart - get on the slopes and enjoy themselves, safely.

My Story
About four years ago, I was in the same position as you are now: wanting to ski, but frustrated by the lack of useful information and advice. As a journalist, I decided to write an article about it for the magazine I was then editing (see article). 

Since then, I have been skiing a couple of times a season, and have helped my wife (a nervous starter, and now a keen but still nervous skier) and my two sons (one cautious, one gung-ho) to get started too.

I really hope you'll spend a little time on the site, and find the answers you're looking for. Please come back regularly, and have a look on the FAQs and Forum if you have any questions.

Be safe - have fun!
