Flights plus 23kg bag BFS - GVA return 95 quid for the PSB on 4th Dec. Why wait until 2022?

If the skiers of NI&I are as fun and together as their professional golfers, can I join you? If I could golf with anybody from anywhere it'd be Rory, with Graeme, Shane and Darren close behind.
What is the secret? (I suspect their parents are just as nice and, being so, made sure their kids were, too). Regardless, some good dudes.

@admin, Thanks, that's good of you!
@Piste Again I've done a few now. They're pretty full of really boring English people, but you do find the odd gem amongst them! 
As a member of the most fun nationality you'll find you're in great demand for apres activities, and in order to uphold our reputation you should never say no! 
Slightly more seriously, they're great fun. There are lots of solo travellers so everyone is v approachable and welcoming. There's generally a good mix of abilities, and nationalities - I've met and had great craic with English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Israeli, American and a Lebanese/Cypriot.
I struggle to find friends who want to ski as many times a year as I do, and as long each day once there as well. Snowheads bashes have solved that problem, and are great value too. My skiing ability has improved a lot since I started. There are very novice skiers, cautious skiers, advanced piste skiers, novice off piste skiers and off piste addicts. Something for everyone.

@Tom Doc, Never say what? (hoho)
Don't be too hard on the English. I blame the 99% that give the others a bad name 
I've been at this skiing lark on and off for over forty years now and would be classed as a stubborn non-improver!
I love cruising the reds all day with an occassional short wake-up black run thrown into the mix; would usually do Soldeu with a few lads a couple of times a year but sadly the personnel are dwindling as time goes on so maybe time to look a bit farther...
I have a mate who's mad keen but a total novice as in never even had boots on his feet; would you, as an experienced basher, consider it a suitable trip for the likes of he?

@Piste Again, The Bashes are all different, I think there are some that would suit a total beginner although I haven't been on any of them. I'd say if he did a few lessons at Craigavon then he'd be fine. You could start a new thread along the lines of 'Which Bash for a beginner?'. There's a Snowhead called Auldbugger who started as a beginner in his sixties and goes every year. I think on one of the February bashes.
There's always someone to ski with, no matter your level or ambitions. I don't think you'll regret it.

@Tom Doc, I think you're right; the only ski trips I've ever regretted are the ones I missed.
The expectation is that I'll take my mate along with me on a trip to somewhere that'll school him while I ski with the other lads so Soldeu was in the frame as the school is good whilst the resort offers 200km+ quite literally on the doorstep.
In truth we've become very lazy in recent years just going back to the same place without having to think too much so it's time to broaden the view and the bashes do sound like the dog's bits!
Would be nice to travel out with a few countrymen too if that were an option. Anyone else out there from this wee part of the world?
Thank you for your input in any case. Some serious thinking to be done now.....

Look at the Birthday Bashes - there's the main one, a pre one and a post one, and also the End of Season Bash. One of them will probably suit.
