Poster: A snowHead

Hi
I'm a complete beginner - friends either have young children or can't afford hol so looking to join a group. I'm looking at 5/6th March, preferably somewhere suitable for beginners.
Thanks
Claire

luckylegs, welcome to Snowheads. One possibility would be the holidays arranged through Action Outdoors at UCPA centres in France - they include everything, including lessons, pass and hire of equipment and as it's a youth hostel kind of centre you are guaranteed lots of people to ski and socialise with. You are unlikely to find anything else such good value - full board, all you need is a few beers. Not all centres will have beginners groups every week (and if you could wait till the following week you'd find the pistes less busy, as the French holidays finish on 12 March). There's a discount code somewhere on Snowheads if you're interested in that (someone will be along with it, I expect).
Good luck!

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

Hi Pam W
Thanks for that - unfortunatley I can only do week of the 5th and they are not running any groups then. That's a shame.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

luckylegs, Most of the centres run 5 full/half days tuition on the 5th march. see:
http://www.action-outdoors.co.uk/datesandprices.aspx
Tignes is running a special beginners course on the 5th but all the other centres will split up into relevant levels for full time tuition.
Email Action-outdoors. They're really helpfull.

Thanks for the information! How did I not see that! Am looking for some cheap flights now as the coach journey seems a bit severe!
I will have a look round for a discount code too -
Thanks again

Hi Claire
I'm having to cancel a ski holiday for next week so need to sell my ticket. I was going with a group of friends. We have booked 2 flats and there are 3 girls and 3 guys going. Ranging from late 20s to early 40s. All are relaxed, friendly and happy to share with new people of any age. There's one girl who is a beginner skier going.
If you're still looking for a group to go with I would be very happy to sell you my ticket!
The details are:
To: Val D'Isere
Price: £340 per person (2 tickets are available due to not having full occupancy)
Dates: Sat 5th March - Sat 12th March
Flying From: Edinburgh
Operator: Crystal ski (I have checked and the details can be changed to a different person)
Details: Self Catering and sharing a four person flat.
If you are interested please let me know.
Thanks.
Helen

luckylegs, although I hope that HappyInSnow manages to sell her holiday, I have to say that Val D'Isere is not the most beginner-friendly resort (though there is some excellent instruction available there).
Hope you get something fixed up.
