 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi I am seriously considering taking the Ski train on Friday 28th Feb for 1 day's skiing in Les Arcs returing on the Saturday evening 1st March.
I won't get a chance to ski again this season otherwise.
Does anyone else fancy joining me on the journey and slopes or will anyone be in Les Arcs on the 1st March for me to ski with?
I'm 38, female skier but boarders are welcome and I can ski all slopes (finally lol!!  )

I am living just along the valley and will happily meet up with you for a ski that day! I am a 46 year old level 5/6 all slope skier. I just hope for your sake the weather is good that day. Message me if you wanna meet up ... I can pick you up at the station and drop you back too

Make sure you take advantage of 'samedijeski.com' for a cheap lift pass!
You register on http://www.samedijeskie.com/index.php, print of the voucher and get a 1 day lift pass for €24 euros instead of €48.
I'm surprised not more people take advantage of this scheme....

thule8442, we'll be on the train on Friday 28th Feb though we are heading out for a week. We're staying in Bourg for the first Saturday night. We're an early 30s couple, ski all slopes and off piste when we can. Would be nice to meet some (more) snowheads.

Hi there, the train return is showing £156.50 at the moment but for some reason it's not letting me book it on the Eurostar website but on http://uk.voyages-sncf.com/
Gamsbock, if I go, it would be nice to say hello and if your happy for me to join you skiing, that would be great. Benski007, if you are free that day and want to ski, would be great too 
Thank you araird, I have seen that link but because my French is limited, I wasn't sure how to go about getting the voucher.

thule8442, keep us posted:-)
sn00boarder, if I've understood it correctly, you buy voucher for the Saturday you want on the preceding Wednesday. You print the voucher at home, then exchange it for a pass at the lift pass office on arrival. The exact price is negotiated weekly and I guess depends on demand for that particular Saturday.

thule8442,
apparently I didn't write a report for the second trip....unfortunately there was a massive delay and I didn;t get to Les Arcs till about 11:00am. Still had a great day though. I took my own advice and rented skis, took a pillow instead and left my stuff at the rental shop at 1600 rather than Polaire Star (because of the opening/closing time). I'd also worked out the navette so didn't have to trudge to the funi. Lovely meal in Bourg and home in time for Sunday lunch. what's not to like!

Hey! yes i did, i had a look for my old thread but cant find it anywhere then stumbled across this.
I still havent got round to wring a report but i have started in a word document.
In preperation of my report, did it last weekend and it was brilliant, im not going to lie i have only just got over it, come 3 oclock i was starting to lag and i have been absolutly shattered for the last couple of days but well well worth it.
If you can afford it and have this as the only option to hit the slopes like was with me a really really recommend.

I'd have loved to join you for this but am away that weekend for my other half's birthday. Fully intend to do something similar before the end if the season so would love to hear how it went for you all.

Hopefully everything will go smoothly next weekend. If I get a chance, I'll write a report of some sort on here
