Skiing at Moninec

One of the parents from school, that I play tennis with, offered to take N & I skiing. Apart from 2 days cross country skiing I have never skied before. About one hour drive from Pruhonice(outskirts of Prague)is the small ski area of Moninec(5 min southwest of Votice).The area is not very challenging for the experienced skier, but is great for kids and beginners. It is used more by cross country skiers and apparently has many trails. The surrounding fields with snow covered trees and small stone farm houses was picture perfect. Ski hire,1 hour private lesson and lift pass for both of us cost 850Kc/$42AUD.

N did really well. By the second time down the slope she could stop herself and by the end of the lesson she was turning and manoeuvring around objects.
