Skiing Reviews

I fell in love with my ski instructor from day one, an Austrian twenty-none-year old blonde with blue eyes and big salapets, her feet meant for snow and ice like a fat hairy Frenchman's are pressing his grapes in Provence. I was determined to prove my affection for her by winning the slalom at the end of the holiday and with just seven ...  Read the complete review

I was over the moon when I discovered there were reviews for skiing in general on Dooyoo. I love to ski and I started when I was about 12. My dad had already been away on skiing trips when he and my uncle decided to take me, my sister and my cousin for a lesson at the Snowdome in Tamworth. Even putting the ski's on for the first time I ...  Read the complete review

When I ski I feel like I am in the heaven eating vanilla ice cream, laying on the huge mattress while twin brunettes ... well, pour hot chocolate over ... well ... ice cream, obviously. Occasionally tension in my knees and surrounding muscles get me back to reality where I am surrounded by faster and slower bundles of fashionable ...  Read the complete review

Skiing in general - A Review from a humble beginner Before you read this bear in mind this is from the point of view of an ''unbalanced skier'' (as the wii calls me). It might just entice you to try it if you have never hit the slopes. This is about the wonderful world skiing is from booking the holiday and the resort ...  Read the complete review

The tragic accident to Natasha Richardson whilst learning to ski at the Tremblant ski resort in eastern Canada highlights the fact that skiing, for all its supposed glamour and glitz, can be a dangerous sport. Richardson is not the only high-profile person to suffer an accident whilst skiing; Sonny Bono, former husband of American ...  Read the complete review

As a qualified ski instructor... my review is totally biased as I LOVE SKIING... First of all one of the main preconceptions we need to clear up is that of people that don't ski or have never been and when thinking of an excuse for why they haven't previously is usually something along the lines of "I don't like the cold ...  Read the complete review

Skiing *sigh*, my favourite thing in the whole wide world......bitten by the bug after a school trip in the 80s, I have a secret yearning to take a gap year and become a ski bum for a season. So why do I love it so much? Well, there is the little matter of the incredible adrenaline rush you get - whether hammering down a ...  Read the complete review

WHY PRE-CHRISTMAS? Well, it isn’t just that greedy snowboarders & skiers such as myself are too impatient to wait until the season proper, which traditionally begins after Christmas…or not entirely, anyway. But there’s nothing lovelier than a White Christmas, in a scenic location, and few locations are lovelier or more scenic than ...  Read the complete review

I moved to Denver Colorado 29 years ago. My wife and I were living in Ohio, where we were both originally from. For some reason, we always thought living in Colorado would be great, even though we had never visited there. In 1971 we took up skiing. The next year we took our first ski vacation to Colorado. The following year we took our ...  Read the complete review

Now what I am about to do here is write about skiing. Writing about sports is always a bit of a grey area for me and rarely will I write on topics in sport that affect me in any way, for example I do not see what is so wonderful about football. But forget about football, this is a completely different section, lets all learn about the ...  Read the complete review

Many thousands of us are packing our bags, as I write, and are about to embark on the annual trek to the mountains for the half term skiing week. Unfortunately we will have to contend with the worst snow record for 40 years. February is normally reliable for heavy snowfalls, but not since 1964, have the pistes of France, Switzerland and ...  Read the complete review

Having recently moved to a litll known town Idaho State, USA, it soon became apparent that between november and april i wouldn't see a blade of grass, period. When i moved away from my home town in the north of england on the 11th Dec 2001, and arrived at my new home 25 hours later, i was amazed at what i saw, there was about 2 feet ...  Read the complete review

Skiing is an excellent sport that does not actually have to be partaken in during the winter, as we know it. You see, in places like Andorra and the French Alps, the mountains are good for skiing until around late March time, but I would recommend you go between December and March, but February is a good month time. Skiing ...  Read the complete review

Skiing spread to other parts of the world and is now done primarily at ski resorts on specially cut trails. A variety of lifts carry skiers up the hill. The most common lift in North America is the chairlift, which is a series of seats suspended from a motor-driven cable that pulls the seats up the mountain. Various surface lifts, which ...  Read the complete review

Skiing, winter sport in which people move across snow-covered terrain with long, narrow, specially designed boards called skis attached to their feet. Although people have been skiing for about 5,000 years, the sport did not become a popular form of recreation until the 20th century. Millions of people worldwide enjoy skiing for its ...  Read the complete review

Unlike many other sports skiing is for everyone. You can't define skiing in one sentence. It can be percieved as many different experiences. When I went on my first skiing holiday to America I was very reluctant and I wasn't really looking forward to skiing. This is because 9 weeks prior to my holiday, on my second ...  Read the complete review

I reluctantly went skiing in January - my fiancee's Austrian and a capable skiier, and a close friend is crazy about it, so I thought I'd at least see what all the fuss is about, and am glad I did, despite my regret at wasting 5 days' valuable holiday in doing so. Because, people, skiing is CRAP. So read on as I debunk the ...  Read the complete review

I hope what I’m about to say makes you think about taking up skiing, because it's a fantastic hobby and sport to get into and it defiantly worth trying Now before we go anywhere let me tell you, you don't really need a high level of fitness, but for your own benefit it is well worth you improving the level, as the ...  Read the complete review

Well not exactly the Alps, but if you fancy trying skiing on 'real snow' why not try the 'Snowdome' in Tamworth. This was Britain's first indoor ski-slope and was opened about 3-4 years ago. The slope is about 150 m long and has a dog leg at the top. It is not massive and good skiiers would soon get bored, ...  Read the complete review
