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 :-)

Solo ski over Xmas

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi all,

New to the whole solo travelling thing but really want to get on the slopes at least once this season. I'm looking for something over Christmas week preferably. Not to fussed where as long as both ski and après are good. I'm an intermediates ability skier.

Maybe looking to join a group or maybe share a room with someone, just putting some feelers out at the moment.

Cheers,

Ian.

Ianmg, welcome to snowheads. If you're young-ish, look at Action Outdoors who do superb value trips to UCPA centres in top French resorts.

Hi Ianmg,

Welcome to snowheads!

We have a single room left in our catered chalet Campanules for Christmas - details via the link below.

Looks set to be a pretty sociable week with a number of small groups, including another solo skiier, booked in already.

Happy planning . . .

Welcome snowHead

You should have a look at the UCPA http://www.action-outdoors.co.uk are the uk agents.
I did a week in La Plagne ucpa last season, was great fun.

I'm staying at the Val Thorens one xmas week, Val T might not be the best resort if you're looking for apres but there's plenty of other resorts to choose from.

skigirl21,

I love the way your site advertises FREE LIFT PASS, when the cost of the holiday is £ 970 quid, is it really free.

Of course not

You are absolutely right --nothing is free a more accurate word would be "included" --we are not a tour operator and do not set prices nor collect money----we simply offer the holiday the way the tour operator packages it to try to get a group together.
This Xmas one is unusual, it includes a lot of benefits as well as the lift pass which are great if you would have paid for them anyway & will make full use of them, such as hire (or service) , transfer , drinks, pool, spa etc but if you dont want those things then obviously its not such good value.

I've only been once myself so can't give a very detailed review (plus I'm crap at writing Neh Neh )

Gives a few more viewpoints, most of the brits I spoke to while in La Plagne had done at least one other ucpa trip and where back for more, as I said earlier I liked it so much I'm using them again for xmas week and would probably be having another 2 trips with them this season if I hadn't booked onto the PreBBWUW2 and S10BB Bashes.

Everything is a little on the basic side but good enough for me especially considering the price.

The only thing that was a little disappointing was the instruction, nothing overly bad about it, just the groups tend to be on the large side 12 or so people, so there didn't seem to be that much time for real instruction. Might be better to view it more like ski hosting by a qualified instructor.
I still booked onto full time instruction again as it's only £60 more than non at all, though I'll most likely not ski with them every day like I did last time, just gives me the option to go with the group when I feel like it.

Anyway hope you get booked onto something and get some good skiing Toofy Grin

That sounds good, I've read a little about it. For the price, I think it's a fairly decent package. Need to get my thinking cap on.....
