Born again skier!

Afternoon all!

Fresh out of my first 3hr lesson at Hemel on Friday. Thoroughly enjoyed the two planks after 8 years of snowboarding.

I will still do both, but I'm really enjoying the challenge of starting something new and going through the various stages of progression!

Level 3+ booked for the end of the month which should have me to a rec standard. Will be going boot shopping soon to get something that fits a tad nicer than the rental stuff at Hemel (although I must say they're a lot better than the usual rental standard!)

Any hints or tips welcomed.

Welcome to J2ski 8) Well done on mastering both disciplines :thumbup:

When you come to buy boots, the one that feels comfy in the shop will almost certainly be too big. There is a good write up on getting a 1st pair of boots by AllyG, who went to Profeet in London.

Thanks for that, I will take a look. I am a dab hand at selecting snowboard boots, but with ski boots I'm a total noob and need all the advice I can get!

Welcome back from the dark side Mervhill. :mrgreen:

:lol: There's no dark side, just the other sport )
