Hi Seanh,
Is it just a company with solutions for solo skiers or are you looking for ski buddies / room shares to lose single supplements. Or even one of the Snowheads bashes?

Welcome to snowHeads seanh, 
We have a few trips each season (known as bashes) which may be suitable - we sort people out with room mates to avoid supplements etc. Full range of abilities (except the Off Piste Bash) so there's always someone wanting to go as fast/slow as you.
These are usually only for snowHeads forum members and aren't advertised to the general public hence you'll find details in the snowEvents forum.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Went solo with ucpa/action outdoors last new year, can heartily recommend!

Many times I've just gone to a region, personally booked a B&B and used sHs to meet up with other people out there at the same time. Failing that.... just talk to people you meet, you often find yourself skiing with some great folk and making new friends.

Hi seanh,
We aren't a specific solos company but we have some single rooms in our chalets in La Plagne and we don't make a supplement for these. So, we get a good mix of solos and couples/groups/friends which we find works well.
The company details are via the link below or if you message me I can let you know which weeks and chalets we have other solo skiiers booked.
Happy planning!
Heather

+1 for Action Outdoors (UCPA booking agent) I have had 3 solo holidays with them and always had a fantastic time. Amazing locations, great atmosphere, nice accommodation, perfect inclusive nature.

Check out HOFNAR.com in Morzine - been with them 4 times, already booked to go back in Jan and if my friends don't stop procrastinating will be booking for March too!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Mountainsun often do not charge single supplements, iirc. Whether you meet anyone to ski with once there is I suppose down to luck and rapport but probably fairly likely if you are flexible.

seanh, Another vote for the bashes, great value with multiple options (for off-piste, lessons, etc.) whilst you're there. Also, I've been with 'Singlesports' who offer a good range of trips and destinations: I went to Cervinia (Italy) with them in April, and am also booked with them to go to Kaprun (Austria) next month and Winter Park (Denver, Colorado, USA) in February.

Seanh, have a look at hofnar.com been with them. Any times and always had a blast, you never ski alone, and you have a great week. You would certainly want to go back for more.

I guess you've sorted something by now but here's my two penneth... I'm going in January to stay in one of Ice and fires (Snow and sunshine) chalets in La Plagne as a solo skier. Les Arcs is right on the doorstep. Ski in ski out, fully catered, no supplement and they do a good price on transfers which are surprisingly hard to find. It's my first time there but the reviews I've found are glowing and so far I've found the service (Heather) very helpful and efficient.

I went with them a few years ago and stayed at the small chalet (approx 12 beds) in Chamonix. They looked after us well, the food was good and our Quebecois hosts were great. Mini-buses available for ferrying to pistes in morning and back to chalet in afternoon and rail platform was about 200m down the road for trying out pistes elsewhere. They aren't cheap but provide good service.

SteveM. Yep this time ten weeks and two days from now I'll be struggling to get sleep trying to stifle the excitement. It's amazing what a twelve month wait can do for your enthusiasm! I accidentally hijacked the Les Arcs weather thread and got a load of good info on the best routes.
I've never really been one for forums other than when google searches of specific needs throw them up, but I think I'm becoming addicted to Snowheads.
