looking for advice on how to prepare for my first ski trip!

I have been invited to a week long ski trip in February 2027 and I’m looking forward to it! Ski lessons and equipment hire are going to be included in the trip too.

I’m conscious that I’m not the most physically fit and have never skied in my 28 years of life. I have about four months until the trip and want to start getting into better shape, otherwise I think I will struggle. I’m not too clued up on what muscles you use when skiing, how fit I need to be etc. I’m probably not going to be too great at it but want to at least be alright!

I also need to sort out some ski gear - thermals and base layers, gloves, goggles etc.

Any advice would be great, and I’m open to any and all suggestions!!

I have had my Level 2 survey come back, there are a few reds on the report but this is my biggest concern. It appears the two beams have been cut and another piece wedged between. The sellers have lived here for over 8 years, so it’s from the previous owner. Before the previous owner, it was local authority housing (built in 1950s).

From the photos, does it look structural? What are the average costs for beam repairs? And felt too.

Is it worth hiring a builder / roofer to look at this before I purchase?

Thanks!
