I never been skiing in my whole life in fact I never seen a set of skis apart from on tv. But plan to do it for some reason Ive agreed to go skiing with my girlfriend whose been skiing when she was 8 and load of his friends this year. Any basic tips would be greatly appreciated. Just so I wont make a fool of both myself and my girlfriend on holiday. Thanks in advance.

Be prepare to fall over alot in the first few days but the most important thing is to keep getting up and the miles in you will progress very quickly and that will be your best ever holiday:)

If at all possibe get a lesson at a dry slope or indoor snow slope before you go for holiday. That means you get through the bits of early learning to stand, walk, fall over. Which then means you are not spending precious and expensive holiday minutes in a beginners class learning to stand, walk, fall over etc....Half a dozen of lesson at a dry slope and you should hit the snowy slope sufficiently mobile to sign yourself into a plough swing class in the resort right away.

I guess you must take a tutorial. But before you do that, make a research about skiing. Just take a look the simple online learning about skiing, Jut click the link below to redirect to learn skiing online @ abc-of-skiing:

To stay warm and dry DO NOT WEAR BLUE JEANS...starting off I spent much time IN the snow and My attire was totally wrong...cotton coat+ jeans...I was soaked and miserable soon and almost gave up. Next time I wore polyester work pants and  coat and stayed much dryier and happier. I soon invested in a waist length ski coat and apair of ski bibs. Staying warm and dry will allow one to stay and learn longer....ya gotta put your timme on the slopes . Hang in there

Please every one...Contemplate Falling Crystalline Matter...
