Arinsal Andorra

Hi,

we've just booked our first ever ski holiday and we are on our way to Arinsal in March '08! Neither my wife or I, or my two boys have been skiing before so we were wondering.....

Is it worth having a go at the in-door snow slope near us over the summer - will it make any differance to which ski school class we are in?

Also, one of my boys is very worried about heights! We are already having a few gentle chats with him about flying, but when he found out about chair lifts!! How big are they and can we use either the lift or the gondola?

Thanks

Steve
