 Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone else tempted to put their head above the parapet and admit to booking on a Freshtracks holiday this season? (for balance I’m booked on a Bash too)

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I've booked several. Was too late to book a bash, but will be looking out for the buttons next year.

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

Haven't done one since 2006. Val d'Isere trip was poorly organised, poorly led and dangerous. Guides were supposed to be shared around the groups, but were commandeered by the top groups. Lower groups were led by resort instructors and the SCGB rep.

@jellylegs, thankfully things are a lot better theses days, some are still better than others. I’m off to Flaine with them over Christmas, then a Bash in March

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@On the rocks, Flaine was probably my favourite Freshtracks. Yann Westercamp is a legend. Though the hotel they booked us into was a right dive.

@jellylegs, SCGB run a couple of nice catered chalets in Flaine these days.

I had a look at Freshtracks for this winter, but I couldn’t figure out why they were so much more expensive that other operators. They didn’t seem to be offering anything to justify the huge cost difference so I discounted them pretty quickly.
