 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
HI all, my son is 24 and a keen skier but has nobody to ski with this year - does anyone know of any groups that might suit him? I've skied with SingleSport a few times and always had a really great time but it's generally aimed at slightly older people so probably wouldn't suit him, however the same type of set up (shared chalet, group skiing with similar abilities) would be perfect. Any advice welcomed! Thanks.

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

He could have a look at Billy Snow Mates on Facebook, HOFNAR in France or ColdFusion. The latter are commercial and BSM are a mix of boarders and skiers who meet up at organised events in the UK and abroad.

UCPA is a great shout, but the clientele does seem to be ageing a bit. Certainly Argentiere has been way more 30s and 40s than people in their twenties the last two years I've been. The upper 'allowed' age has increased from 40 to 55 in the time I've been going! If he does fancy UCPA I would suggest going for one of the more party vibe centre like Val D which hopefully attracts a younger crowd. There are also a significant percentage of Chinese customers now which changes the social vibe a little as well.
I've had some (younger) friends go on HOFNAR trips and they really enjoyed them.

Hi there, I am a 23 year-old female boarder in a similar position this year. There is a Facebook group called solo skier UK with lots of people sharing information. Billy bash also has a Facebook group, that is taking place mid-March and looks brilliant and reasonably priced.
Alternatively, I have a couple of options but have found another guy in his 20s on the solo skier Facebook group looking, so I'd consider pulling a small group of us together and booking a self-catered apartment/chalet via sunweb somewhere, which is always reasonably priced and throws in a ski pass. Contact me personally if that's something he's be interested in

Hello there,
I'm a 26 yrd old keen skier in a similar-ish position, I'm currently eyeing for a short trip around the Easter weekend (and eyeing possibly UCPA Argentiere, hence found this thread).
@bumble66,
My only past experiences skiing abroad (I'm UK-based) has been with UCPA. I've been 3 times w my group of friends, once solo. If you book a package w classes, he could meet like-minded and similar-level skiers to hit the slopes outside of class times.
@EKib, I've just proudly advertised myself on that Solo Skier UK Facebook group. Happy to be involved if the dates suit!
