Yes, well, I don't know the two women in question, and while they sound EAGER enough, it might mean he is very unlucky, if you know what I mean...

There are plenty of last minute deals around.
Many of them are in chalets though and you may have to share a room.
You could just book a flight and sort out your own transfer and accommodation.
Hefty single supplements are often a tour operator racket. Dealing direct avoids this.
I am not sure about Manchester, as opposed to London, but I believe there should be a reasonable selection of last minute offers. It is not some desperate regional backwater where virtually every holiday gets booked up straight away.

szy,
referencing the Great One on sHs is that a first. Though tour ops don't publicise it you can sometimes haggle a spare room with no single occupancy supplement at the last minute. Otherwise think of DIY to Switzerland & Austria where pensions wuite often have single rooms.

fatbob,

sHs - snowheads
DIY -??? - I ve seen it on couple of threads already...

I ve been to Austria in single rooms couple of times - Its just better to be with the group but as I said if nothing pops up I ll do just that.

A tour operator like Crystal or Thomson may charge a large premium on top of the standard package price for a single room.
If you book with the hotel directly a single room may not incur extra cost.
There are plenty of offers for singles available but check the cost against what the travel agencies would charge for each person sharing a twin/double room.

Speaking for myself-- I am a very eager SKIcat-- but not at all eager to share a room--with either skitoms or cats! Sorry--szy! (Thanks for the pm)
I suggest a chalet holiday for you-- as often you find people of similar age and ability to ski with--or have you tried the SkiClub of GB?

In terms of cards, I always prefer four.
Seriously though, there's loads of Accom available at reasonable prices, so the more the merrier!!

Kaiser,
Sorry mate but things changed a bit…. The plan is to go skiing in Jan with some small group and in April with EoSB or sth – by the way what EoSB stand for? Everybody on SnowBoard?
That’s why I wont have enough funds for skiing in March anymore unless nothing works out in Jan
|
Szy I am going in Jan to Tignes. Have irritating bird who is not a "wench" making life difficult for me insisting I find a way to get her out there! More bodies may equal less pain for me!
(Sorry, just read my post and it seems I made certain errors: For irritating read delightful and difficult read ecstatic)

szy,
There are five of us going to Tignes by train 5th to 14th January. A sixth would like to come, however there is no room so looking at renting another two man apartment in the block we already are in and installing sister and her boyfriend in that, singles occupy the other. Apartment price is 293 euros. If you want more blab, prob best to call me, If you send me a pm I'll pass on the number.
