actually the social side of things sounds amazing. and even the chalet has a hot tub and pool table and table tennis etc. it's just the actual frightening steep slopey things...

green and blue slopes are NOT steep. They really aren't.
It'll take a while to get used to it but persevere. It's the one thing I've come across that almost everyone enjoys once they can do it, regardless of other sporting abilites.

Allow me to demonstrate steep vs not steep.
Black, unpisted, mogul field. NOT FOR SWIPE

Itinerary off piste NOT FOR SWIPE

Nice blue piste FOR SWIPE

Greens will be less steep than the entirely flat last picture. You'll be fine.

Have a go, and if it's not for you, go round on the ski lift with some vodka.
