My sister called me last night and asked if we would like to join her family when they go skiing in the winter. Being an avid skier myself when I was younger I haven’t been on a ski holiday since before the kids were born, and now that they are old enough (9 and 11) it’s a great reason to go.

Me and my wife have been skiing before, but the kids will need to take lessons, luckily there is an indoor ski slope near to where we live that has dedicated lessons for kids and beginners alike. The kids are pretty excited and I have booked their lessons for the end of this month.

It will also give me and my wife the chance to practice skiing as I feel that I might be a bit rusty.

I can’t wait to book our skiing holiday, hopefully we will be able to book into a decent resort for cheap and fingers crossed that the weather is good for skiing.
