Hi,
I am new to snowheads, so excuse me if I haven't the etiquette bit right yet.
I am likely to be in Les Gets for 3 or 4 days from the 14th onwards. Am probably going to go out on my own as everyone else seems to be skint or working hard to avoid being made redundant. So would be interested in skiing with a buddy. (reason I found snowheads!)
I spent five weeks out there at the beginning of the year with friends and family and the snow is some of the best they have ever had, (according to the locals). With the snow arriving again, the skiing should be brilliant next week (that is why I am going out again).
Let me know if you are interested in hooking up.

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

younger at heart - I think you will find that if you are not skiing till a bit later in the day then the lift pass will be adjusted i.e. one price whole day, another for after 11 or 11.30 and then lower after 1. But you may find that if you are buying a 7 day it all comes out in the wash. Certainly after a couple of days PDS added to the local pass then it comes out about the same to just buy PDS for the whole period. Also think that there are bonus points that come into play - but I am sure that your chalet people should have all this info at their fingertips. I will research a bit and come back to you...
Looking at your village map you are quite close to us - in the square above where you are there is a hairpin bend and ours is the third chalet down from the bend so perhaps you would like to come and have a drink with us. I will pm our number

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

younger at heart - I think I may have a couple of vouchers which entitle you to a discount on daily ski passes. I bought a season pass at the beginning of the year and they give you some vouchers which I think you can give to friends etc (worth a try in anycase, a couple of them are for 50% off).
I also gave you the wrong date, it is my daughters birthday on the 14th so I have had her 1st birthday celebrations rolling around in my head, I am probably going to get a flight out early Monday morning.
I will stay at L'Ours Blanc Hotel, in town, close to the Mont Chery Ski lift. (Brilliant and really reasonable hotel)
The Chalet Experience guys have a good reputation, so I think you will enjoy the stay with them.
In terms of ski lessons, when we were out at the beginning of the year, I contacted lots of the independent ski instructors and schools, as over five weeks we had lots of people that couldn't ski or were looking to improve, by far the most reasonable was ESF and 360 International. The best instructor over the whole period of time that we found was Jean Charles (I can't remember his surname, but have it written down somewhere) at ESF. My partner had had a few lessons previously and not taken to it, but we found Jean Charles and booked him for 1.5 hour sessions (54 Euro's) every few days and towards the end of the holiday she was skiing much better than many of our friends who had skied for 5 or 6 years.
I do know the Les Gets/Morzine ski area quite well, so happy to show you around.
It would be good to hook up, so yep, we should swap numbers, but as a novice to all of this, I am assuming a pm is a private message, and I am not sure how to do that yet!
