We tend to ski with some families over the February Half Term, and I always see that the mums are not as confidents as dads are.

This is how the idea of going for a long weekend with these mums came about. In this way, we all could enjoy skiing at our own pace. Then another friend came along, one that had only skied very little, ages ago.
