 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, I'm an advanced skier, male, 50, into reasonably agressive (though not stupid) skiing: trees, off-piste, powder, but equally content at times cruising the pistes. I'm looking to get a 2nd trip organised for this year and need to get the time off work booked. Any groups/individual fancy hooking-up?
Happy to consider most places - the usual suspects of the 3Vs, EK etc spring to mind, but am flexible and enjoy skiing new areas. I also love Wengen if anyone fancies (though is a bit pricey).
I'm happy to glug the chalet wine but won't be doing any serious apres I'm afraid, far more interested in the skiing. I'm Midlands based but happy to fly from Gatwick etc.
Anyone fancy getting together for a trip (non-snorers only please!)?
Rich

You sound like me
45 advanced skier . Happy to charge around on piste , but prefer off piste . Arva gear and own skis / boots etc.
Unsure about the snoring as have only ever lived alone .
Normally out the door at 0900 , ski till 11 then coffee and snack thhen crash on till 4 ( happy hour ) stop for 2 beers then home for tea and medals.
Would love to go 8th March , but also really want to just graba flight to Toulouse , rent a car and stay a few night in Andorra , then a few in Formigal in small hotels as the Pyrennes are having the best snow for years and ive never skied there , cycled up to some ski resorts .- La Mongie + Luz Ardiden
Budget wise , starting with a £4-- would be great for a CC deal, and have been to espace killy already this year so rather not return so soon
I have the abilty to go from this Sunday through to 14 March

Hi Rich,
If you don't manage to find other people to travel with, then it might be worth taking a look at our Chalet Bluebell (details via the link below). We have a no single supplement deal running for those dates.
Happy planning!

@Snow and Sunshine,
Hi,
I'm looking at Chalet Bluebell for the coming week (8th - 15th March). flight looks possible to Grenoble but need your advice on transfer to/from La Plagne. If that can be sorted then I can do the booking.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks
Arthur

Hi all. I'm still looking but have narrowed it down to the w/e 14/15 March. There are some lads going to La Plagne whom I'd happilly hook-up with, and just need to final book. There's various deals still going around the £350-£400 mark CC (Manchester flight). I can go on my own but fancy getting a room-mate/ ski buddy to share with. As per above post, male, advanced skier, but pretty relaxed about doing piste skiing as well.
C'mon, there must be someone up for a final week this year!

If you are thinking of going from Manchester I would be interested. Have nothing on next week so happy to go anywhere if you know of any deals. Very average boarder but happy to go down anything. Love powder but that's because I weigh about 30kg so my board never sinks into it. Cheers Jim

Hi Rich,
We are 3 people booking a week away to Paradski Area or 3V from Gatwick. Waiting for 4th person to get back but had enough of waiting so putting word out. Found CC in La Plagne for £419 but if its only the 3 of us then £550 instead. So really want a 4th person.
2 of us inter/advanced skiiers. 1 of us newbie but a lot of balls. Easy going people.
What dya think?....

Jim/Den - thanks for the responses and offers, much appreciated. I have sadly admitted defeat and cancelled my week off work, so will not be going on the 14/15th
I'll look to go during the first week of Easter, but that's a whole new thread.....
Thanks again and hope you get sorted

@iceman81, I am going to be in St Anton 19-30 March, mostly solo, in my 30s, will ski anything.
I know of a single room accommodation (was going to be my 2nd choice), free from 21st, 50 euro a night B+B - you can fly easyjet to innsbruck from gatwick, then train into st anton - easy.
Let me know if you want details.
