Poster: A snowHead
|
Already posted in trips (calling all ladies)
Just thought I should not be too narrow minded, there must be other places to ski/stay.
So although I was looking for catered chalets. Has anyone got space for one more. How about if I could go as early as feb 21 ish?
On a tight budget so no ridiculas prices please.

youngeratheart, in France (which is where most catered chalets are) it's super high season till March 7th. French school hols. That won't make a huge difference to catered chalet prices (because only the mad Brits use them). However, it does mean slopes could be pretty crowded. the middle weeks in March would be better.
If you're in a tight budget, mid January is the time to go.
As for snow - nobody knows where there'll be any snow then! But right now it's looking pretty good.
Have you thought about doing a ski course? There are some great ones out there, including some where you can go for a "female share" and avoid supplements (which is what I did when I did a course). It's not a budget option, because of the cost of the tuition, but you will have a very productive and enjoyable week. Look at Inspired to Ski, as just one example.

Hi pam w.
Thanks for all your advice. Unfortunately I cant go untill 21 feb because I ride for part of my living and one of the horses is qualified for a regional final on the 19th of feb so need all the time before to prepare him.
I have still got to take holiday for this year in my other job, hairdressing, and so If I dont book soon everyone else will use up their holiday and I wont get any dates.
I fancy catered cos my first ski holiday was such, met some great people ate well and skiied every minute I could, the following holiday my big bro said it was much cheaper at b and b hotel. If fact spent just as much in the end and had to drag weary legs out, pay inflated prices for average food, drank too much and couldnt get up to ski the next morning!
I'd love to improve with lessons but this year the budget wont stretch to it. I did check out the easiski link, only the last course appealed though.

Thanks but cant really afford any tuition this time. Also I think the ladies who are booked are staying b and b or hotel, neither my cup of tea. past experience spend less if I go catered chalet.
thanks again youngeratheart

youngeratheart, I did say that you didn't have to have lessons - there are a few coming just for the holiday. No-one is obliged to stay in the B & B (but it's very nice and there are approx 70 bars and restos in LDA to choose from) there are people staying in Hotel Les Melezes, their own apartments and the Aarlborg with Neilsons . I was simply suggesting that you might like to join the group since that's what you seemed to be looking for - pals to ski with.

Sorry, Charlotte. I have got quite confused with all the forum stuff, Its new to me and I overlooked the bit about lessons. If I do end up going to LDA I shall keep an eye out for the Butterflys! Have a great trip.
Thanks
Ps to myself dont try to have two threads running at once!
