GreenWife can't make her mind up, and we want to go up to the slopes this weekend for our first trip of the season. I want to book her a lesson, but I don't know what of.

The vast majority of the people we know here ski - I can't think of anyone else who snowboards in fact. Included in that number are some beginner ladies who might be good company for her.

I, however, snowboard - at an intermediate level - and could help her out myself if she chose snowboarding.

I've heard skiing is easier to learn, snowboarding is easier to do once you learn.

She isn't a particularly adventurous sort, and whatever she does she won't try and progress too fast.

She has had one day on skis before many years ago, and thought it might be nice to try something different, but I think that is really irrelevant, it was so long ago and brief that she doesn't remember anything from it.

Given all that, any ideas on what would be best?
