 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, I'm looking for a ski buddy for a possible 1 week ski trip in mid to late January 2017. I have several trips with my wife, but unfortunately she can't get enough holiday from work to fit in all the trips I like to do.
I'm late 50s, but young at heart, fairly good skier (Reds/blacks no problem, although I hate moguls!). I like a few beers, but I can't party all night anymore.
I prefer to fly from Newcastle as flying from other airports adds time and cost.
Interested buddies would need to be male really as I don't think my wife would be too happy if I were sharing accom with another lady!
That said, if there were several interested parties and group accom was an option then that could work.
Let me know if you are interested.
Cheers
DougR

Hi, Why don't you book yourself on to The Snowheads Pre Birthday bash week? It's very good value & probably won't be your last bash! You will be allocated a room with another male & lots of like minded people to ski with. I went last year & the hotel was great, the resort was good for a weeks skiing. You can upgrade the ski pass to ski the whole of Dolomiti Superski.
You just book your own flights & get the organised transfer or hire a car.

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

Hi Doug. Where do you like to ski? Done any off-piste? I usually go to Chamonix from NCL in January.

Hi Andrew, I have mainly skied Austria, but have also been to Italy (Cervinia, Sestrierre) and have been to Morzine in France. I don't do off piste and the skis I have are more suited to piste carving.
I have mostly used CrystalSki to book trips as I have found it is almost impossible to do it cheaper yourself, especially from Newcastle as destinations are somewhat limited, but I would think if there are a few people to share transfer or hire car costs then it would bring costs down.

@DougR, flight to salzburg then huber taxis do a minibus shuttle to Flachau that you can buy a seat on for €52 return. There will be similar services and prices at other ski amade resorts. That said a bash is the way to go here

Hi Doug
I am in a similar position to you, previously went with son who is now working abroad and wife not interested in skiing.
For the past 2 years have been to Bulgaria. Left it to the last minute to see where the snow is. They only charge about £70-80 for me to have a double room to myself. Last year was in Bansko and went skiing with a group from Newcastle and they flew direct from there.
Might be an option.
