 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hiya,
I have a ridiculous job which is only allowing me a few days off over the winter and I am currently trying to fill this with some ski time. I have from the 31st December to the 5th January off, and was wondering whether anyone could suggest a fairly cheap option for me to go skiing. I really don't mind what accommodation I have, don't even mind sleeping on a couch, as long as I manage to get my 5 days skiing this year! Any suggestions would be much appreciated, my budget is about £250 - 300 for accommodation and travel (Ski pass and food etc extra, but I know I can't really control this as its dependent on the resort). If anyone has any spare places on trips or any other ideas, please please please let me know.
Thanks
Kate

Yeah I know, dates are odd - thats due to my work unfortunately, (rubbish job to have if you like the winter as thats when all the work is). Could probs stretch on the budget if I found something, probs to £450ish at a push - its the ONLY chance I have to ski this year....maybe I'l have to resort to getting the National Express then staying in a very warm sleeping bag in a tent!

KateF, auditor?
good luck with the New Year. There was a thread somewhere around here started by hofnar, who had two spaces for ladies in a chalet over NY - you may be able to organise DIY flights.
As for entertaining the idea of tent plus warm sleeping bag, chapeau!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Haha, yes, I am an auditor. At least until October 2009, then I will definitely change jobs if they don't let me go on sensible ski holidays!
Thanks, I'll search for that thread

I think your best chance is to look for a friend with a spare sofa in a self-cateting appt. I'd imagine all the spare beds in chalets etc are gone / difficult to book given your dates.
Know anyone doing a season?

We could do it! 30th December - 5th January at £338 per person in a catered chalet in Les Coches (Paradiski). If there's only one of you and you want guaranteed single occupancy a room there's a supplement of 50%, but this doesn't apply if you're willing to share (and you may or may not end up sharing).
We offer evening Geneva transfers at £12.50 per person each way - collecting in the evening around 19:30 (or later) on 30th (so you could get a flight after work?). We'd leave resort around 16:00 on way back to serve flights after 20:30..
If of interest drop me an email at mountain.sun@virgin.net ...
Hope you find what you're looking for in any case.

Hi Kate
Just seen your post.
I don't know if this helps or if you are already fixed up or not but I know as of Tuesday these had a twin self catered studio available in Zermatt, as they emailed me to ask me which one I wanted. It is very central, about 100m from the train station so no hills to roll back up.
its about 700chf for a week.
trains from geneva take about 3.5 hrs and cost 85chf
I will be driving back late on the 1st an have a spare seat, and I know squeasyjet have flights available all weekend but are getting a bit pricey as everyone wants to be back for the 5th Jan
email Irma on Taxi Imboden [taxi.imboden@rhone.ch] if you are interested
