 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
I'm looking to book my first ski trip since I was about 12yrs old (i'm 28 ). Sadly I can't get any of my mates to go with me  I really want to focus on skiing rather than apres ski or 'singles'. After a bit of research the best I can find is snoworks [www.snoworks.co.uk].
Anyone used them? Any comments? Looking to spend about 600-900 for 5-7 days.
I'm not really a beginner, or maybe I am, since I've done about 5 sessions at xscape and can ski ok on there indoor - what blue run? - slope.
Thanks for any comments.

nks, as a possible alternative, snowHeads organise several events each year, you might want to have a look at PSB, MSB and EOSB threads possibly the most suitable for your experience level might be the MSB or Mid Season Bash held in Wengen, Switzerland. Have a look in the snow events section for more details, Oh and welcome to snowHeads

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

nks, welcome to snowHeads 
I've been on several Snoworks courses and have always had a positive experience with them. The quality of the instruction is first class, and as most people on their course tend to stay in the same hotel the social side is very enjoyable. Just about all my Snoworks courses have been as a single skier and I've always met up with a good bunch of people.
Generally Snoworks caters for more experienced skiers than you, but they do run a specific course which I think would be suitable called Easy Terrain. This course is being run three times this season (Dec 01 in Tignes, Jan 06 in Courchevel, and Feb 02 also in Courchevel). If you're not certain whether this course would be right for you give them a call to discuss your requirements. Alternatively, send a Private Message through this forum to stewart woodward who is a regular member here who teaches on some of the Snoworks courses.

nks, if you go to the MSB and I'm there I'll ski with you, a few years ago I went with a couple of friends who had only done about 4 or 5 lessons on a dry ski slope and by the end of the week I had them confidently going down fairly steep red runs at speed and under control

FAQ
