Hi ski/snowboard lovers,
I am looking for a ski trip somewhere at the end of Feb, best the beginning of March. Longer day light, nicer weather. I am looking for Val D'Isere or a resort with high altitudes and many kilometers.
I am 36 years old, intermediate, done a few ski trips. If our levels don't suit, not a problem, we can meet for apres ski. I just wish to join some people. I've been in Val D'Isere before, I loved it. French Alps are my favorite, been in Austria/Ischgl and Dolomites as well, Les 3 Vallees, Les deux Alpes a few other resorts.
Please lets plan now. We can still find good deals for beginning of March.
Thanks in advance.
Carmen

@Carmen, welcome to SHs. That's a peak week in France - French school holidays. Might be better heading to Austria or Italy.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Carmen, I'm in Les Deux Alpes then, in fact all season. If you choose to come here I'm quite happy to ski with you, got lots of friends here of various ages (I'm a fair bit older).

Hi @Carmen, welcome to snowheads. With a name like Carmen, would I be correct in assuming that you are female?
I'm also looking for a week away towards the end of February. I've been to most of the resorts you mention, so would be happy with any of those.
By coincidence I also happen to be 36, and enjoy a bit of apres ski too (less of a coincidence).
Would you be able to post a pic of yourself, as I find it helps me communicate easier with that person once I have a visual image of them.
Hope you're having a good day.
Mikey

@mikeycharlton, Hi Mikey, I don't see a picture of anyone here! Yes, it would help to see people's faces.. The trip can be in March as well, so it doesn't matter. If Feb or March, still good. January is not my fav cz of short days and sometimes bad weather, lost ski days etc. Last January in Les 3 Vallees I skied 'blinded'/guessing. Same the previous one..Le Deux Alpes, I've been twice, Les 3 Vallees as well. I wish to change this year. But I want still high altitude. I am not fun forest ski. How to call skiing where is no forest? Okey, I will be here tomorrow and see what ideas/suggestions ski lovers have. I once wanted to ski in Colorado.. Anyway, from now on I will not miss a day here, cz time is running and yeah, I cannot wait to ski.

@aaroncook04@yahoo.co.uk, I am not sure if you got my answer. I sent it from my e-mail address, not from here. Did you get it? Lets get a group together. Quick! We can still find good deals. Ideas? I can search ski offers. Suggestions?

@Carmen, I am also looking for a trip in March and I love Espace Killy too. Pam W is right though, 1st week of March is still French school holidays, it would probably be better to do 2nd or 3rd week of March. I'm a 35 year old boarder (will be 36 early March )

@mikeycharlton, that's typical using an old photo when you had more hair
@Carmen, pam is right about that first week as you get any choice you want for the second week and without having to fight for space. I've been in a group either second/third week in march every year and always get good snow, longer days with blue skies. As long as you go to somewhere 1000mtrs upwards it's all good at that time of year.
Quite often we've only booked a couple of weeks before we go as you can get a good view of snow conditions on here and pick what suits.

there would be a group of 9.
40s to early 50s all male this year but the chalet may still have more room(s) for ladies
mixed ability skiers intermediate to advanced but we split up depending on where we want to ski
the place is Chalet Cervin in Meribel

£620 includes Gatwick flights, transfers, chalet board, (breakfast and eve meal except on chalet maid day off)
You would have to pay extra for ski hire and lift pass + beer money.

@Dawg, your offer sounds super for Meribel.. 3 Valleys is huge and you find everything you wish there, plus apres ski..val thorens is known.. I only have a problem. Been twice in my last 2 years and this year I really wish I can find something different. Val D'Isere/Tignes was one of my favorites so I wish to go back (I've been there in 2010 I think). You better look for someone. In case I don't arrange anything but I really hope I will.. I don't know how did you find/arranged the trip with the meal, accommodation, plain, transfers.. I just ask, in case I could do same thing for Tignes. Please let me know! But now I still look for some other location. Thanks again. Happy holidays.

my trip was booked months ago using a main stream tour operator. The week i am going is not a peak week so I would have thought it would be easy enough to find something in the vast Espace Killy area.

@kb36, how did you arranged your transfers from the airport to the resort? It seems you pay 3 times more for the transfer than the plain itself..
