It is certainly impossible when you are out to enjoy your annual leave at snow converted hills & you didn’t taste the adventure of skiing. But hay! Be careful of you are doing this for the first time. It may hurt you and your wallet if you don’t have affordable health insurance. Secondly if you have difficulties to balance yourself at high altitudes & steep areas, don’t bother to try it. This is the game for folks who love extreme adventure. However if you really want to face this adventure, I suggest you must try this, get the help any ski master or your travel guide if they know about the tricks of skinning.
Though I am doing this thrill from the age of 10, so I can confidently says that I can do this on any glacier or 
any surface with snow. There are many learning club where professionals can guide you about the pro & cons, but it is better to help yourself & take a start followed with regular practices. The place I love for skiing is the beautiful mountains of Switzerland in winter season. A suggestion for all the tourists, never try to do high jump for the place where you are not familiar with area & the surface of mountain. You will love it if you do with care and enthusiasm. Try this for one time & you will do every time you get the chance in snowy hills.
