 Poster: A snowHead

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself, I've been reading and lurking about for a while so thought it was about time I posted something.
My ski history is a bit random and quite fragmented. I live in north Wales and learnt to ski in secondary school, we used to head up to Plas y Brenin in Capel Curig on Tuesday nights during the autumn term for lessons, then when the dry slope in Llandudno opened we used that it was about three times the length of Plas y Brenin and we thought it was amazing. Finally made it on to real snow when a mate from uni invited me to stay at his family apartment near Lenzerheide. I had a great time and going to Lenzerheide became an annual post christmas event. Eventually though I got married had kids and stopped skiing for ten years, finally decided my youngest was old enough and brave enough to do ski lessons so we had a week in Les Arc 1950 over easter. It was bloody brilliant and we booked for next year as soon as we got back. The ski in/out was great and the kids loved the evening sledging.
Anyway just wanted to say hello

Thanks, for the warm welcome. @geepee yes I reckon I am hooked, have been since the first time on snow I'll never forget my mate putting me on a nursery slope and watching me ski down he said 'that looks ok' and took me to the top of a mountain (it was the Rothorn in Lenzerheide) and I had to ski down, it was a red run most of the way, the conditions were total white out at the top and I skied terrible but it was amazing

@CH1975, Welcome.....what a nice post
|

You know it makes sense.
|

Ah so that's a Bash, sounds like fun. I have a job that gives me a lot of free time in Jan and Feb, my only problem is my wife is a teacher an the kids have to go to school. Not sure what they'd think if I announced I was going on holiday without them there might be a revolt.

@CH1975, as @geepee has linked to, they're basically epic SnowHeads ski hols organised by admin. Fantastic prices and better company, laugh a minute!
Edit - hadn't refreshed page before posting so didn't see your last post! Ha, sure you'll be able to come up with something as a bargaining chip!!

I mean no no no, I run a caravan park and it is closed in Jan and Feb plus the weather is normally to wet to do any major work so things usually get put off till March and April.

Welcome, welcome. As @N0rthernMonkey, said the Bashes are a good value trip that gives the chance to ski with other likeminded people. The End of Season Bash in Val Thorens was fantastic and you good pretty much go to the Chalet du Thorens bar at any time of day and find someone that would be happy for you to ski with them

FAQ
Remember the priorities, skiing is a healthy sporting activity that adds to the ankle-biter's linguistic and social skills as well as the benefit of limited UV exposure
