 Poster: A snowHead
|
I (27M) will be in Val Thorens as a solo on 16/12/23-23/12/23. Looking to meet people to ski together or some beers after skiing
This is my second season skiing so I'm fairly new to the sport.

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

@eiforya29, you mentioned on the SnowBuddies thread that you're staying at the UCPA: you won't be short of people to drink with in the bar at the centre. And if you're doing a course, you won't be short of people to ski with, either.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yes, I very much think so. If you’re doing a half-time course, you’ll have a readymade group of people to ski with in the other half of the day, who are about your ability level. Maybe set out to do that, and be open to the possibility of skiing with some of them again (& maybe to returning to a UCPA centre) rather than necessarily looking to meet lifelong friends, but all friendships have to start somewhere.
I’ve linked to my writeup of the ValTho UCPA centre last spring, in my trip report. Feel free to give it a read, and I’m happy to answer any questions you might have about the centre there.
I’m also in the 3V myself for some of that time (Dec 9-20, staying in Méribel). I’m doing a pretty full-on course, so can’t promise to be around to meet (& I can’t think of any places to meet after the lifts close that allow us both to get back to our respective lodgings—I don’t think there’s a bar or restaurant at the top of the Col de la Chambre, but if anyone can correct me or suggest anywhere, please do). But if you arrive early enough on Saturday 16th I could probably make it work. But I expect you’ll be so busy with new friends from the centre that you won’t have time to meet me!
In any case: have a fantastic time. There’ll be lots of people in a similar boat to you.

I’m currently at the centre. No sign of my roommates yet.
