I’m a 55 year old male advanced/expert skier looking for someone to go away with. My usual buddy can’t make it this year and I do not want to waste all that lovely snow that’s out there.
I live in County Durham so looking at flying from Newcastle but flexible on airports.
If anybody wants to go I’m open to resort options

Hi buddy
Wow somebody local, I can’t believe it.
The 2nd of March was the date I would like to go (what a coincidence).
I’m up for it if you are.
My legs are slowing me down as well haha.
Any idea where you would like to go and what sort of budget?
If you want to go I’m in.

I'm from the other end of the country in Devon but could be tempted to join you guys as I am in the same boat. I am also the wrong side of 50, but it's just a number!!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I have done the spade work fot a trip to Pas de la Casa in Andorra with a friend who is stalling on confirming. I have told him I have to know by the weekend. Trying to do it on a budget!! Could be an apartment for four available if that grabs you. Will update after the weekend.

Hi thanks for getting back to me.I have been to Andorra many years ago and find it not challenging enough.if for any reason your plans fall through I would be keen on France,Italy or Austria.Flights from the southwest are expensive and I have found the cheapest way is to drive but you need at least three to make it economical.I have driven to Austria many times but at present I don't have a suitable vehicle.mike

Hi guys, I am planning one week in Austria from March 9, intending to go to Soll (flying to Munchen).
51 years old male skier, enjoying red pistes and skiing from 9 till apres ski. Definitely not a party animal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I’m booked for Soll also March 9th.
Where are you staying and how are you getting the transfer from Munich airport

You know it makes sense.
|
@skier100, I haven't booked yet, waiting to find at least one more to come along. My friends don't ski anymore.
In the worst case scenario I'll go alone, YOLO. I addressed derbysky, I need more info regarding recommended guesthouse and best locations.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

@tangowaggon, i've read about it. Sorry you can't make it.
And I love red pistes.
Unfortunately the week of 9 is the only one that's available for me

Mike, nope nothing sorted yet would be more than happy to share a room. As I said preferably catered in a largest ski area but I'm not too fussy, budget is flexible but probably wouldn't want to go much more than about 600ish mark.

Hi, we have room in our catered chalet in Méribel from the 17th March. We are looking for £850 inc one flight from Manchester and skis and boots, having paid £1150 for the chalet alone. Could make it a twin room if anyone else was interested?

@skier100, hello mate - apologies, I got busy at work and missed your message - then committed to some work stuff the spare week I had! Good to see you got sorted and to know there is someone local for next time. Enjoy.

If you are still looking for something @mike1958, I am now going on the Gnarlbug trip to Gressoney on the 2nd March, picking up another guy, Nick, in Bristol on the way to Gatwick.
