Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

D G Orf, Now I'm going to say something important ---- I was so desperate for someone to ski with last week, during my holiday, that I finally gave in to various "friends", and became a ski instructor! snowHead Now I have losts of people to ski with, but I spend my time going very slowly backwards down the hill (teaching first timers)! Very Happy

pollittcl, been there done that, all be it informally, that's why I wanted a companion not a student !

Isuppose I'd better start my search earlier this year 4.5 months is obviously just not long enough Sad So the request is for a suitable companion to join me next February in Wengen

D G Orf, but I'd still be a suitable companion,....... just not in Wengen and not next February! Very Happy (mind you, by then I may have had enough of working for ski school - or they may not want me back next year!)

D G Orf, I have thought of that, but I'm quite committed to my current "real" job, and I do like living and working over here. There's not as much of a language barrier here as there is in Europe (failed 'O' level French completely, and German wasn't much better!) Very Happy I'm also a little tired of carting my stuff backwards and forwards across the Atlantic! It's just too easy to ski in Tahoe - which is where I'll be in another 24 hours, again! snowHead

D G Orf, What is wrong with being vegetarian? You have seriously offended me here! (You're not alone, my entire school managaes it quite well!)
Seriously, though, what's so wrong with veggies? We're not hard to cater for, just give us chips!

crazy_skier_jules, My daughter was vegetarian for about 3 years and then started eating meat again when she was about 16 or 17. I had just got the hang of catering for her and then she converted back! Are you vegetarian for humane reasons or do you just dislike meat?

crazy_skier_jules, nothing wrong with being a vegetarian, although I think vegans take things a bit to far, it's just that I'm not and I don't want to offend anyone by eating my steak in front of them whilst they eat their rabbit food, besides to be really honest here whilst I've found Swiss food to generally be very good, much of it is not ideal for vegetarians

D G Orf, It does sound a bit like a blind date thing, women dont respond to demands like that. You have to sell yourself a bit more i think, otherwise it'll be table for 1 in Wengen! Crying or Very sad

yeah, D G Orf, oi! Veggie food is nice!
Yes I think being vegan is taking things a bit too far. I'm not offended by people eating meat in front of me - well at least I have learnt not to mind - I have to put up with everyone around me not caring.
But sorry dude, I'm too young! Otherwise I'd love to come to Wengen, for the skiing of course! Laughing

crazy_skier_jules, I know you're too young or I'd have invited you ............. for the skiing wink By the way I do know that veggie food can be very nice but I do like a good steak or a nicely cooked guinefowl and the Alpenrose where I'll be staying does a very good steak Blush

austin7, incredibly fussy would be more accurate Laughing

D G Orf, wink hehehe. I found it very hard in France. none of the food has 'suitable for vegetarians' labels on, there are no veggie options at restaurants, no veggie food in the supermarkets. Never appreciated the presence of chips and four-cheese pizza more. Ahhh, for those self-catering meals in the chalet - four cheese pizza and packet Knorr leak and potato soup from the Super-U and Casino. And oven chips. Yum!!
*goes into daydream about nice food* and now I am stuck at home by myself, with not even a ready-meal awaiting me. I really need to learn to cook!!
If this is a find-a-companion thread, this is an official request: *picks up megaphone* will all skiers with nothing to do please assemble at my house for a party, chat about skiing and general good time! Good cooks paid well!
I need skiing friends. None of my friends ski. Losers. Laughing

crazy_skier_jules,

Are you planning to go to uni? If so that's only a few years off. Once there join the ski club and you'll meet loads of like minded people. That's what I did and I had a whale of a time. Also try and get the role of holiday organiser - then you get the free place!

crazy_skier_jules, damn shame about the age difference as I am quite a good cook Cool

For anyone else out there, the Alpenrose will do vegetarian food it's just not brilliant at it, fortunately they do five course meals, one course is a salad, roughly 40% of the starters would pass as vegetarian and about half their soups (the other half tend to have a meat stock) and all their desserts, however I can't think of a single main course that does not have meat or fish in it

Well, the hair might have fooled Orf for a while, if I'd hung it over my face to hide the moustache, but nobody had seen me at that stage.

All this talk of food is making my mind go of to recipes...... Lamb roasted with lots of garlic and rosemary on a bed of sliced potatoes and stock, or tuna steaks peppered like a steak au poivre, with a brandy, port and cream sauce, or chicken roasted and turned with butter, tarragon and garlic inside and finally flamed with brandy, or liver cut up small and fried in clarified butter after marinating with lots of ginger, garlic, pepper and some lime juice .........

Well snowball, now you've got me started thinking about dinner, tonight I think it's odds and ends, so cauliflour, a couple of new potatoes some bacon, mushrooms spring onions, cheese, cream and pasta thrown together should provide sustenance. Wednesday however I think might result in fillet steak snowHead
