Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, I'm a 31 year old male from Manchester. Can ski well but not gone on a skiing trip for over a decade. Would like to ideally go with a group of people and not solo. I'm thinking about France next year, between January to March.. I don't need or want any lessons, will just go to the Manchester chill factor to refresh my skills a few times. Just want a good weeks skiing. Been to Schladming and some other place, back in my high school days. I'm happy enough hostelling it or in a dorm with others, keeping it cheap, don't want to be spending a fortune on a hotel etc...
if anyone has any ideas/recommendations/pointers, would be much appreciated.
thanks!
phil

Welcome to snowheads. the trips to UCPA centres in France might suit you
Terrific value, all inclusive prices. You'll meet more people if you opt for a holiday including lessons (though be aware that the top groups in some centres will be very skilled) but there are also holidays without. Action Outdoors market their holidays -in top French resorts - in the UK.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

What about a snowheads bash ?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@phil1984, a snowheads bash would be good, if dates fit. don't forget there are four weeks French school hols from 7 February. Unless you like lift queues they are best avoided.

Just booked UCPA Val D'Isere for March 2016. I was getting so frustrated and fed up looking at different trips, flight times and costs, do flights fit in with transfers to and from ski resort etc.
This trip has coach travel from London, gone with this option, can bring a bigger travel bag/s with me too.
Thanks for the tips and advice. Looking forward to my first ski trip for 15-16years!
