Paul was pictured looking every inch the esteemed skier in his all-black winter wear as he went for a lesson on Thursday.

He looked in focused mood as he headed onto the snow carrying his ski poles and flanked by his personal instructor, who had skis in hand.

While on the slopes, Paul looked like he had the technique down to a tee as he sped across the snow.

Despite Paul's new hobby, his wife Nancy, 53, doesn't appear to be quite as keen as her husband to take to the ice.

According to The Sun newspaper, she has been steering clear of the icy conditions by staying in their private lodge when the singer heads out to test his skiing skills.

The skiing trip couldn't have come at a better time for Paul, who has been busy in the US for the past month making a special TV show, The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to The Beatles, to commemorate 50 years since the group first appeared on American television.

Nancy Shevell is also on holiday with Paul in the Alps but has reportedly preferred to stay in their private lodge rather than hit the slopes
