Avoid a Ski Divorce!

You know how it goes.  You book a ski holiday for you and your other half, imagining the dreamy snapshots you'll post on Facebook upon your return.  Oh look - you'll smile smugly - that's us snuggled up in fur by a roaring fire.  Oh yes, that's us laughing as we throw soft snowballs at each other in a flirty manner.  Yes, here we are skiing gracefully down a pristine slope together .. the perfect romantic getaway, right?  But alas, the mind's eye can wear deceptive rose-tinted lenses ..

Of course, the reality is that you'll argue over which pistes to ski.  You like to plan a route, he likes to 'wing it'.  After bickering until a strained agreement is reached, he'll then completely ignore said agreement and disappear off in a totally different direction, leaving you cursing his tiny figure in the distance.  He'll want to stop for a coffee.  You'll want to try that nice steep black run.  He likes skiing in the trees, you like staying on the pistes.  You're tired and he wants to try that mogul field 'just one more time'.

So you get along brilliantly but drive each other mental on the slopes.  Compatible couples are often incompatible skiers.  Sometimes it's simply because one's a beginner and the other's skied for years.  Sometimes it's because you've been together for years and just don't have the patience for one another that you'd have for anyone else!  With perhaps just one week's skiing each year you both want to get the most out of it possible - but the problem is that you're looking for different things.

We've seen it a million times and have come up with the ideal solution!  A Couples Ski Camp.  The concept is simple: you come on a luxurious ski holiday to spend quality time together in a beautiful, invigorating environment.  We provide expert coaches who'll run a selection of clinics so you can join separate groups and each enjoy your kind of skiing.  Groups meet up each day at lunchtime and for après ski drinks, so you still get to share the ski experience!  Everyone's happy, and you get to enjoy a romantic ski break without the on-piste tension.  Bliss!

Our Couples Ski Camp will run from 15-21 January, 2012.  It includes coaching allowing participants to split up into different groups according to the type of skiing they'd like to do, with options such as off piste, confidence building and technical training.

- 7 nights' accommodation at Ferme du Ciel
