Poster: A snowHead
|
My daughter this year has decided that due to her GCSE's this year she doesn't want to go skiing at half term
I've already been away to Cervinia last week with the last of my mates who still ski and am lookign at my next trip which I'm planning for the end of February and it's a while since I used traditional chalet operators for a weeks trip on my own. In the past I've been with Ski Olympic and Le Ski who did "single male shares", I know Ski Olympic have stopped doing this but not sure about Le Ski. Does anyone know if any other chalet operators still do this?
For a bit of background I'm a 55 year old intermediate skier who ski's from first to last lift but still enjoys a few beers.

Hi Steve,
I know Skiworld used to, Neilson had a forum and there is skipals too if it's still going.
Plus On here and the various bashes that everyone raves about.
Off in 2 weeks with guy I met with skipals, his mate who we both skiied with a couple of years ago and one of the group he went with last year so sure you'll have no problems hooking up with people to go away with.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

If you can wait until mid-April then the EoSB would be a good option, although I think it's pretty close to full. Always someone to ski with/drink beer with.

@stevew, the bashes cover this perfectly - any reason not to go for one of them?

@admin, I need to use my holiday by the end of March and also April isn't a good time to go from a work perspective

@stevew, still a couple of places in the Bellevista on the Birthday Bash, 4 February. I think there may still be places left on the Pre Birthday Bash, 28 January if you're happy to be housed in the B & B next door to the main hotel.

@NeddySkiGoon, @admin, had initially looked at the Birthday Bash and Pre week but clashes with wife's significant birthday and SOPIB is too close to a weekend with flights to Geneva I've got booked. Don't know why I wrote end of March initially as it's end of February I'm after, I've changed my initial post.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

The end of Feb is a very busy time (lot of holibobs in Holland and Denmark and maybe Belgium at this time).
We had a week booked out about 9 months ago to cover this week (and believe me, it must be a busy time for me to get booked out!) So you may find it a little harder than normal to search out a single occupancy or shared double. It may be worth looking at half-board hotels with single rooms. There are quite a few around here (use booking.com or another type of booking site).
The week before (18th) is half-term for half the UK and also a big holiday week in Austria and Germany so you may need to get in quick somewhere for that week too!

You know it makes sense.

Probably worth checking out last years thread for a few of the simpler answers, add a bit to money to allow for rate change on the pound.
If you click the "I'm Interested" button on the thread and commit (not to any of the money bits though) then it usually opens up the travel details of the others, which lets you see the other flights people are taking.
