Off to Colorado on Sunday for 2 weeks. Most snow I've ever seen there in 10 years of going I think.

Still some good cover up at Cairngorm on Saturday - quite surprising given how mild it's been. Glencoe in the morning, which should hopefully be as good!

Just got back from Zermatt. Had some cracking days there with fresh powder yesterday!

Ah yes, linked with Cervinia, one of the best places I've ever been to
Really enjoyable runs and always seems to be snowing, even today!http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Cervinia/6day/mid

Finally got my Visa through for Canada Working Holiday so I will be doing a ski season in Sun Peaks as a ski instructor come November! As this is my first season/visit to canada, any tips or advice from anyone!?

It's my 6 year old daughters birthday next month and I suggested that she could go to Xscape to learn how to ski or snowboard. She wants to try snowboarding as that's what her Dad does 
Now my 8 year old son is going to go as well and he wants to ski... Not sure if that's the best idea as when we go on holiday he'll be the only one skiing and at such a young age and me not being able to help him, I'd prefer that he boarded so I can give him some advice.
I want to let him make his own choice so is this going to be a problem?

I don't see it as a problem if he's getting professional tuition?
These days to be honest, most of the cool kids these days are skiing rather than boarding. Ski design technology has rapidily improved and surpassed snowboards so there's nothing really you can't do on skis and you avoid the negatives of boarding such as using the lifts, wet bums, and even just being allowed to ride in some resorts.

This, 10 years ago I was booked out with people wanting boarding lessons, now its a novelty to strap on my board again, I won't regret making boarding my second discipline but I never really 'got' it, skiing done well looks so much better than anything other than a deep powder boarding line. Tricks too have so many more variations, tweaks and just look way cooler.
