Each year, just after Boxing Day, my family and I head off into the snowy Alpes in France for our favourite holiday: SKIING. The combination of constantly moving throughout the day and beautiful sights from the top of the slopes, makes skiing one of the best holidays ever!

Having not been skiing since last year, I could feel that I was uneasy skiing for the first day or so. I'd forgotten how tiresome it can be when you do not have enough speed and momentum to push yourself all the way to the ski lift at the end of the slope and have to 'walk' towards it. With each day, I could tell that all my lessons as a child had paid off and I was able to ski without focusing merely on technique, but enjoy it more.
