Travel for the Over 30s

This comes under the strange but true banner. I live in Australia - its the middle of winter, there is a bumper ski season happening in eastern Australia and New Zealand, and there are some nice airfare deals to the local ski slopes - well not that local to Perth - but within 8 hour’s flying time.

This post is not about Australian and New Zealand ski resorts. Instead I opened this weekend’s local newspaper to be bombarded with a “feature” - as they love to call advertorials in mainstream media - on skiing in the French Alps - weird enough when you consider that it is high summer in France at the moment.

But it got weirder - this was about life coaching on the ski fields. No not in a quaint village located near the fields, actually while skiing - you go skiing with your life coach - and solve all your personal problems.  I don’t know about you but my day-to-day problems of issues with procrastination and inability to care enough about my fashion sense - aren’t the same as the one’s I have on the ski slope - which is all about my inability to ski around trees, not into them and unsurpassed rage at the ability of the average European 5-year old to out-ski me. However if you think the two go together check out Pollen Brook’s website - though I can’t find the specific package mentioned re life coaching and skiing - maybe they are just trying it out on the Australian market first?
