Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hi and welcome SNowheads!

I am out here, but I am not called 'Oh and' Madeye-Smiley

Check out the snow events section for bashes - loads of crasy people from the internet meet up to throw themselves down mountains (or refrigerators). Go on, you know you want to!

Happy yulemasstime

jojosnow, If you are up to or better than our standard you would be very welcome to join us. Have a look at our group in this section, “Deep and Steepish” Freeriding with Mountain Guide – Andermatt w/c 6 Feb. (http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=57410). The last couple of years we've had a 30/40ish (years, that is) girl join us - not yet sure if she's joining us again this year. Jehu or I can give more details of the trip/costs.

I'm a relatively new snowhead too - looking for 40/50 somethings to ski with. I'm female and a stong skier. I'd love to join or form a group to ski with regularly, as most of my friends who ski, aren't as passionate about it as I am - in fact most of them think I'm mad! Toni

Thanks for the warm welcome! I thought I'd go to the Snowcentre on 9th, perhaps meet up with other Snowheads...... trying to juggle going skiing versus kids at school etc... My aim this year is to get to grips with off piste again - I had a set back last year with bad accident (skiing of course) so find my confidence gets shaky when off piste.

funmum, welcome to snowheads. snowHead There are some excellent ski courses available. When I did one (at about your age, i.e. a while ago wink ) several of the participants were travelling alone. Inspired to Ski (http://www.inspiredtoski.com/) is one such organisations, but there are a number of others.

And there's no need to wait till next year to do one.... wink

funmum, welcome! I'm a similar age - still a bit of a novice on skies but working on it. I've got two trips this year - one to Alpe d'Huez (I'm off tomorrow -yay!!) and the one referred to in my sig line below in March (that could suit you as there is something for all levels?). I am also trying to persuade my husband he should try skiing. So far I've failed, BUT we are thinking of a late June/early July driving trip to the alps, staying a week in Les Deux Alpes where there's good glacier skiing - I will ski and he (hopefully) will have a taster lesson while there - he has sort of agreed!

funmum, it's not remotely sad. What IS sad is that people whose partners don't share their particular interests feel they have to forgo them - there's no need to be joined at the hip.

Reading all the recent posts about older skiers wanting to ski together,there must be a way to meet up.Maybe at Hemel or MK for example.I am new to this so maybe this has been proposed before,but there does appear to be a lot of solo,older skiers who would benefit from a group with the same interests and type of hols? Cool

Well that does seem to be one of the things that the Ski club of GB do.... I have a friend, of a certain age (like me) who has been on quite a few of their trips. Strong skier.

there appears to be a market. Me, I don't care what age/gender my fellow-skiers are. They range from 6 to 70.

Apparently. That's why I said it was my view. The age range you describe is just the ticket, AFAIAC. Toofy Grin

Actually, 'wanting' to ski to together is one thing. Having to do so, as per SCGB, is arguably a step too far.

The group I ski with range in age from 39 to 54. No kids, but occasional evidence of childish behaviour. Laughing

Hi I've been telling my daughter(15) to be careful on the internet for ages but am finding it quite hard to meet like minded souls.(Or any kind really)
I would appreciate some basic contact before signing up to a trip.I live in Scotland so would find it hard to come to the UK events,It would be great to have contact with a few individuals around the same age.Definately do not want labelled as old though Smile

funmum, it would probably be as economical for you to go to the Alps for a week - why not have a look at the website at http://www.inspiredtoski.com/
When I did one of their courses I'd say at least 50% of the participants were on their own. You would then be absolutely certain of finding "like minded" souls as they'd all be there to improve their skiing. wink

If you like a skiing holiday with no alcohol and prayer meetings every evening then this lot will be right up your street. rolling eyes

If, like me, you prefer your apre ski a little more on the Devil side then it aint going to suit you at all.

cc_7up,
Ray Zorro famed moderator on this website has been involved with Oak Hall holidays. I'm sure he would give you more information on Oak Halls ski trips if you need it. A quick search shows that a number of snowHeads have been on Oak Hall holidays and reccomend them.
