 Poster: A snowHead
|
Looks like a friend and I will be going somewhere for a week during half-term, and his Mrs will be coming along, but she's never skied before. So I'm after suggestions for somewhere that won't be too hellishly busy during half-term, and somewhere good for a first-time skier. Any suggestions? Not having been skiing before during half-term, I don't know how busy it gets... am I asking the impossible? Is everywhere busy? I realise it may well be too late to find accom. anywhere, too

Ah, sorry - should have said - w/c 17th - I forgot half-term is variable around the country.

jonm, you might be well-advised to look somehwere other than France e.g. Austria at this late stage. Igluski www.igluski.com has quite a good reputation on here for late availability.

Well, we've blagged hire of a friend-of-a-friend's apartment somewhere in Serre Chevalier for the week. So France it is, after all.

jonm, Telephone the Ski school NOW and get lessons booked. From our experience in Montalbert the ski school gets fully booked in advance for next week!

Thanks, both... will do. Any particular ski school to recommend? Esp. for Emma who's never skied before.
One slight issue could be that we're not arriving until Monday lunchtime, but that was unavoidable.

jonm, don't know about Serre Chev as I've never been there, but post a new thread asking for ski school recommendations. There are a few snowHeads based there who will be able to help no doubt.

jonm, good plan. And don't leave on Saturday morning..... Private lessons, if there are any vacancies, would probably be the best bet, with patient and supportive input from you and mate the rest of the time!!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

pam w, yeah actually I think the way it's worked out is pretty good, early morning Monday flight which gets us there at 10am, then the flight home is late the following Sunday, so we still get at least 6 days skiing  I have very unpleasant memories of leaving on Saturday morning last year <shudder>
Agree re private lessons - have had a few suggestions for ski schools which we're following up, so I'm hoping she'll be ok.

jonm, which village are you staying in? Eurekaski is in Monetier, and they are excellent, BUT they may be already booked up. www.eurekaski.com

You know it makes sense.
|
|
I should add that Mel will try and find you an alternative if they cannot help.
