I made these levels up to work in with the kind of groups that come along on solo skiing holidays...

Total beginner – never been on snow. (or perhaps once or twice on dry/indoor)

Novice – 2nd day onwards, usually in lessons, learning to snow plough. Can get down flat greens, falling lots. Can venture off on their own outside of lessons, cautious, slow, still falls over when conditions or surface changes. Still sticking to greens and very easy blues, mix of snow ploughing and parrell turns.

Skiing and snowboarding aren't team sports. You don't need a partner to enjoy it (in fact so many couples are of different levels and preferences that often you are left on your own - and that's not counting the couples with a non-skiing partner!) and it's a highly sociable environment to enjoy off-piste.

Okay so first blog post - I won't bore you!

Solo ski holidays for 2012 are up and running - so if you are single, ski mad and looking for a ski buddy this coming season - please check here http://www.pistepals.com/solo-ski-holiday-prices-and-availability-2011-2012

I will refrain from endless wittering as some blogs do - but safe to say I'm very excited about spending the winter in the snow again with all my single ski pals.
