 Poster: A snowHead
|
For a whole variety of reasons I’m only just getting round to being able to book this year’s skiing, and am currently toute seule and looking at booking the UCPA in Tignes from 24/2 to 2/3. I’m considering flying into Geneva on 21st and home on 4th and doing something either side.
Is anyone interested in doing something similar, or already booked into UCPA that week?
Ms T.

@Mistress Twerkle, that's the very highest of high season, being school holidays for both Frane (including Paris) and the UK. If youhave any flexibility then the week after might be quieter - and if so an option might be the gnarlibug
Having said that if you do go please report back as I've been considering a week at UCPA tignes myself on their off-piste course

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

Timing isn’t in my gift. If it were, I definitely wouldn’t have chosen these dates. But life etc. Ditto with the various bashes, which are my default preference.
I’m reasonably attracted to the UCPA offering on basis of price - I’ve been looking at Canada but that gets pretty pricey doing it as a solo skier.

@Mistress Twerkle, I've done UCPA Flaine but not Tignes. I paid extra for a twin with a buddy, and Flaine is all en-suite. Plenty of food and hot water, had a great week. As I said I've been looking at Tignes myself if I can't find any mates to come away with me later this season as I like the area, but I'm a bit wary of sharing with folks who might snore and so on. Hope it works out for you

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I’m half deaf, have good earplugs, and spend a lot of my time sharing small spaces on boats so hopefully won’t have trouble sleeping 
Will report back once I’ve been…

I went to UCPA Tignes back in 2019. Compared to other UCPAs I've been to, it's pretty good. They cater a lot better to vegetarians here. Only downside is that the centre isn't ski in/out. So, there's a little schlep to/from the lifts/piste. Couple of friends I went with had lunch in the Val d'Isere UCPA as part of their day and said that one was much more "rustic" in comparison.
I did the Intro to Off-piste course. Having no proper off-piste experience at the time, I thought it was good. Snow conditions were great at the time.
Have fun!
