I am off in January to Bulgaria with 17 other people, They all done it before (except one of them) So me and her are going to do ski school. l brought my jacket today, But l plan on hiring everything else. What tips can you give me to help me out? Anything from Clothing, to help with my technique.
What general advice can you ppl give me a 1st time skier?? Or shall l try snowbording before sking??

trust me get your own boot is too..and dont break anything

Dont fall !

Well my advice is that u try skiing because snowboarding will be harder. l am sure you are going to fall a lot of times even if u use skies. Another thing is that clothing will not help you with your technique. And you can hire skies, without problem. Better skies wont make u ski better, trust me l knw. They will give u just fine skies.

1. if you fall over it hurts
2. dont eat yellow snow
3. its bloody cold so wrap up warm

My daughter went skiing for the first time last year to Croatia, she bought everything except boots and skis.Her recommendation is definitely buy your own boots

If you are only skiing on one trip, do not bother buying your own boots. ''Hired'' boots suck, but it is not worth it to buy new boots for one trip.

Technique: well, you have to get lessons. You really have to. You wo not develop without the guidance of an instructor, and if you try without, you may actually end up in the first aid shack.

So, invest in lessons!

You want gloves, hat, and goggles as well!
