 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, I`m a solo male skiers intending to go to Val D`Isere for a weeks skiing on the lovely recent snow and trying to avoid paying the single supplement. Have found a few medium / good deals. Departing anywhere between 13th and 17 December. Have found Hotel / chalets , half board, flights & transfers included, Gatwick or Manchester. I`m 69 medium skier, fit & no bad habits (that I`m aware of...)  and itching to get a weeks skiing in before Xmas. Preferable someone of similar age. I`m also happy to go for the single occupancy rooms and pay the supplement if preferred.
Please get in touch. Jaff

@stevesie, I’m guessing we’re both looking to avoid the single supplement, if that is your question.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Check out YSEski. Chalet les Chardons - Val d'Isere. Single rooms with no supplement all season. Large comfortable rooms, great food & good company. Centre of village. Have been seveeal times on my own and always found plenty of folk to ski with

@fvlover, Thanks.
That might appeal to the OP @JaffJaan but I’d rather not go to Val

Thanks for the replies. Smartin; yes I seem to be set on Val d`Isere.. at the moment ! Have found a good deal in a Chalet leaving on this Wednesday (13th) from Gatwick and its a room share at a reasonable cost. Skiing over to Tignes will be easy to sample the well prepared slopes. I`m very keen to go so please do let me know your thoughts. Thanks: Jaff

A hotel (chalet etc.) room costs pretty much the same whether there's one or two people occupying it, so the overall price per person of a holiday will tend to be more for a single traveller than four a couple. Package holidays are often shown with a price per person, assuming dual occupancy, and add a supplement if you're on your own.

@Smartin
I am also looking for a ski buddy and possibly roomshare. I am not that fussed as where to go, as long there is snow. Anywhere in Alps. The only constrain from my end is the date. I am able to go only on 16th or 17th. If you are interested, please let me know. Thanks

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Ok, I have bit the bullet so to speak and paid the single occupancy supplement. Leaving on the 13th to make the most of the one weeks sunshine after the bad weather. Still some places in the chalet as of today in case anyone can make it. Cheers Jaff

You know it makes sense.

@dennisoft,
As I just mentioned in my reply to @JaffJaan, my plans are now a bit up in the air, unfortunately. 16/17th would be more awkward for me work wise, too.

S Martin, Yes you are right, it is Leski at the Burger chalet. Your discovery of Covid household is unfortunate since it would not seem
right if you took off skiing except if those effected were able and capable of monitoring themselves, insisted that you go and you were clear a few days before you leave. So, if you can come on the 20th for a week (Xmas in Val d`Isere) and the weather for that week looks good, I can stay on at the Burger for another week and we can do a room share.
I will know what the weather forecast is while I`m there and decide say on the 17th / 18th. If that suits your plans we can stay in touch and together book the week stating the 20th. I have a basic mobile and do not take a lap top or Ipad so we will have to communicate via Whatsapp while I`m there. Can we private message on this site ? since we would have to exchange tel numbers.
Also its worth staying in touch since I`m a serial skier and go multiple times in the season (have already bought my season ticket)
and we may be able to sort out something in Jan / Feb / March. (Also applies to Dennisoft on this forum or anyone else).
Cheers Jaff

@JaffJaan,
I was still tested negative earlier today and the person that was previously positive, tested negative today, so I made a last minute booking with leSki to Courchevel for 13th to 20th Dec 
If you are flying from Gatwick, I’ll probably be on the same flight as you!
