While I'm here may be someone could
advise on a beginners 7 day package
including equipment hire etc. Can fly
from Gatwick, Heathrow, Stanstead.
Hotel accommodation. Half board
Any resort suitable for beginning skiers.

Consider Soldeu, Andorra. Lessons there are fantastic, especially for the
English speaker, and it's cheap.
I'm off on Sunday to Pas de la Casa [#1], which is costing me £239 from
Stansted including flights transfers and half board accomodation. Lift pass
is between £85 and £100 depending whether you want local or whole of new
GrandValira region and lessons are around £70 for 15 hours but groups can be
quite large.
Also it's a tax free pricipality, so you could buy your gear over there.

[#1] PdlC is aimed more at intermediates and boarders, so go for Soldeu
unless you want the Ibizaesque night life.
