A strange comment from my partner at the weekend.

"Every Swiss person I know, doesn't ski and every expat who I know does".

My question therefore is what percentage of the Swiss nationals ski?

We'd love to go more, but for us, a family of five, it costs an arm and a leg to go only for one day, nevermind a whole week of skiing holidays it's beyond our budget.

I am happy that in the region where I live the annual skicamps organised by the school ( Skilager) are still offered, like that my kids can go once a year on a skiing holiday and learn to ski more or less good

Despite always having been in the beginners class at the camp, I have fond memories of those camps, and when I went to work in a mountain resort I took it up properly ( but only because the boss offered all the employees a seasonal card)
I think skiing is like learning to ride a bike, once you were able to 'do' it you'll never forget
