 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
Im looking to get a fun group together - there are so many of us who are very keen on a winterholiday, but we always put it off, as friends cant come etc..
Im looking to put a nice little fun group together, my plans are:
- a week long ski trip
- France or Austria, a lively resort
- somewhere with good nightlife (like apres ski)
- dates: Beginning of Feb- Beginning of March
- ideally, not luxurious, but as economical as we can (eg, no luxy resorts with spas etc..) We do spend most of the day on the piste, and more money left for drinkies.. 
- ideally for advanced/intermediates, so we can ski/board together
- age group around mid twenties to mid thirties
What do you guys think? Who would be interested?
Thanks,
Christina, 32, snowboarder, London

Hi boredsurfin,

|
|
|
|
|

Ok, here is the outline of the trip:
Dates: 22Feb-1 March (7 days, 6 nights), FRANCE: Chamonix or Meribel (cheapest for this period), great nightlife, great skiing for all levels, huge resorts..
It would be around £ 450-500 inc return flights from London, accommodation. Liftpasses around £ 230-260 (this is standard in France!).
Post here if you wanna join, so we can see how big the group is.

It's not a good idea putting you email address on public forum, you may end up with strange emails. Better to private message them. 😄🏂🎿

If anyone is interested in doing something 2 to 9 Feb, I have just booked into a chalet in La Plagne called "Genepi" with Ice and Fire, it's £499 for week, no single suppliments, plus £80 return transfer from Geneva not including flights, it's like all inclusive as all wine, beer and soft drinks are unlimited as well as usual chalet board stuff. They have 4 rooms left.

I do find it entertaining to see what some folk think is 'budget' skiing. To put things into perspective, the kind of offers me and my friends have been looking at are like this - a week in Les Deux Alps for four people at £297pp inc accommodation, lift pass and travel. Stick on another £30 or so for food and you have a quality weeks skiing for £327. Granted that does mean a long coach journey but I'll quite happily take that for the price on offer. Students know how to do it properly!  If anyone fancies being a 'student' with us and sticking their own flights on, just let me know!

rasmanisar,
Totally agree with you I've just booked half board for £225, what is all this budget at £600-£700

yeah but rasmanisar you are in LDA and there is a reason those deals are always so cheap  (done it twice before I decided never again!)
It depends on the week, the catering setup, and the group size. I used to regularly do super cheap late bookings for the first couple of weeks in Jan, but with the group now at 15-20, strong opinions on ski in/out and size of area, and a nonnegotiable demand for decent food in a chalet the bar has risen somewhat over the years!
Started a new thread here to see what other people's version of a good deal is! http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?p=2428231#2428231

So you are getting travel and accommodation for about £100? (Lift pass is €225 for 6 days)
You do realise tha apartment for four will actually only just about fit a small bed and a small settee?

We just booked a trip today, with 6 of us (30's people), but there is still availability for people to join up. It's a mix of fun sociable people.
I can tell you more details if you want in! I'd prefer to have an intermediate snowboarder with me, to even things out in the group

I think the OP has booked 22 feb to Chamonix. So I suggest posting new thread for those still looking to get away. I think there are a couple of rooms left in the chalet I'm booked for in la plagne called genepi with ice and fire and I think it's reduced to £449 for week 2 to 9 feb usual chalet board but free beer wine and soft drinks anytime, transfers from Geneva £80 return and no single supplement. Worth a look.
