supertrooper, welcome to SnowHeads 
Might be an idea to remove your email address to avoid getting all sorts of Spam mail - you can just ask anyone interested to send you a PM and then discuss from there

Hello Mahoney,
you are welcome , so far I have seen 3 chalets . We like chalets that have small capacity 8 to 12 peeps, makes it homelier and the chalet hosts aren't rushed off their feet. Wellness center and sauna is on the wish list too. Will keep you posted

Hey There,
This sounds really interesting to me, my initial ideas of my friends being motivated and wanting to come skiing seem to have fallen on poor people who cant afford it atm. I very much like the challet idea, I will be 30 shortly and I am a professional working in the IT industry who likes to have fun and can enjoy skiing blue runs.
Do you have any idea of what sort of price at the moment?

Hi Pete,
well we are thinking around £750 to £800 for a catered chalet. In the past a small chalet with 10-12 people capacity we found ideal as bigger chalets are noisy with too many people and with a smaller group we get more attention from the chalet hosts. Also its easier to met 2 to 4 other people than 30+! I am looking at chalets that aren't too far from the lifts...don't like the idea of getting a bus to and from the slopes. I also like at least a sauna and maybe a wellness center.
So far we are all intermediate skiers and 2 of us can tackle black runs too. It doesn't matter what level you are at as we ski together mostly and though some are quicker than others, but we wait for the slowest. The whole idea of the group is we have fun and socialize. You will probably be the youngest as we usually range from late 30s to 50s but don't let that put you off. If still interested let me know.
Cheers
Syd

Hi Syd
Not sure if St Anton is the best choice for a mixed group and you might get a better response going for somewhere like Saalbach which is better for Intermediates but not as good for Experts.I think Austria is a great choice but if you can get what you want with your comments re the above for around £600pp you would get a better response but given the profile you would have just as much fun in say Kitzbuhel or Saalbach as St Anton but at a cheaper price and nervous skiers will not be intimidated by St Anton.Also worth looking at other BIG areas but less well known to the Brits for value but still great skiing.

I just booked St Anton for w/c 18 Jan. £880 all in with Crystal. Bargain if I say so myself!
Have been to Saalbach and more recently Solden and I just love Austria. Saalbach is a lovely place with a good mix of terrain and good apres. Solden was better all round in my view. Cant wait to try out St A never been before and there's about 20 of us now so should be epic.

Thanks Gainz I been to Saalbach too and did enjoy it , but I'll have to research Solden. I am sure it will be just as good. Cheers.

You know it makes sense.

Thanks for the reply Syd, I am having a think at the moment about the group- you do sound great and welcoming, I also would like to try the nice chalet approach to skiing too. Also is there an indication yet on what ski passes are likely to cost, I guess if St Anton is now up for discussion the prices could change too.

Hi,
I have had few suggestions from others who suggest other Austrian resorts which may be cheaper and more suited to the average intermediate. Watch this space!

Hi supertrooper. I'm really keen to get to St Anton this winter. I'm a 29 year old kiwi skier, I've done a few seasons so pretty competent and looking to ski with some people that will challenge me! Let me know if you are still looking to fill a chalet.

Hi Kristi,
no worries about being challenged. Here is the deal.....we are all intermediate skiers some more daring than others obviously! We have are eye on Chalet Charon( catered) sauna, free Wi-Fi and near the slopes in St Anton in mind. So far we are 2 guys and 2 ladies (so far) are ages are from 30s to 50s.....don't let that put you off being in your 20s! We fly out on Sunday 12th January from Heathrow or Gatwick with BA. If I can fill the chalet (8- 10 people) than I am hoping to negotiate a discount other wise its about £761 for flights. transfers and food. If you need more info please feel free to contact me. Cheers.
Syd
