Has anyone got any spaces?
Hope to hear from you

I'm thinking of heading out to the UCPA in Tignes the first week in April if that's of any interest? I'm 28, will ski pretty much anything, some bits with more style than others!!

I'm 28 y.o. skier of an intermediate level.
I've planned my journey for next after Easter weekend.
((Thu 8 Apr - Sun 11 Apr 2010))
Destination: Chamonix
As I found out, it is situated high enough for good snow conditions in early April.
An adequately priced accommodation I found was on Booking.com
(my double room for single use is ~52 EUR / night in Hotel des Lacs, good location)
Spectacular views expected, as very high Mont-Blanc mountain should be very close.
This is an option without catering, but you may search for half-board or full-board basis.
Flight: London - Geneva (~100 GBP) Easyjet.com
Transfer from Geneva airport to Chamonix or nearby villages: 25 EUR one way (http://www.chamexpress.com/Timetables.html)
Transfer London - Stanstead airport ~18 GBP (http://www.nationalexpress.com/)
All together for 3 nights: ~300 GBP
Meals, ski pass and equipment hire cost should be also kept in mind.
I wouldn't refuse a company, Chamonix is known as an area with great night life.
See you there!

Hi
I'm also 24yo and looking for a trip somewhere mid-march onwards for a week. I'm not fussy on where but would love to join some others or arrange something to get away. Please let me know if you're interested in joining up. I'm based in London and intermediate skier.

Mastin, no R in Chamonix. You are right that it usually still has god snow in April although note that this is only the Grands Montets area. This is the biggest and arguably best area and is most suitable for advanced skiers (although also fine for confident intermediates). The other areas are much lower and mainly South facing so not so reliable in April

Come with us! We're off to Les Arcs
We are going to The Mont Blanc in Peisey Vallandry with a group of 11 mixed ability skiers who know this area inside out and love to guide and explore off piste. Ages are varied but we have 16, 19,21 and 22 year old skiers in the group two of which are advanced skiers who would love an additional skier of their age group to join them! The remaining members are aged between 35 and 65 so we certainly are a mixed bunch!
We are staying at the Mont Blanc (ski in - ski out) and we have 7 places available to fill within the next 7 days due to last minute cancellations (one couple, the wife has anteria cruciate ligament damage from an earlier ski holiday this year and a couple of pals from a group of 5, have had to change their holiday dates due to work commitments, so we have been left short to fill all 18 places.
The deal is this....coach travel there and back, coach picks up on a Friday 25th March and arrives in the resort early Sat morning and leaves 5.00pm following Saturday so you actually get 8 days skiing for the price of 6 as you can ski both Saturdays! Breakfast of Porridge, cereals, french bread and jam, eggs and bacon, afternoon tea and 3 course evening meal with wine if you want it. Six day local ski pass and lifts are literally seconds away so no need to walk anywhere!
I need to know as soon as possible if you can make it, ideally today. Cost all in is £575.00 which can't be beaten anywhere and is well over £100 off the normal price if booked in advance. Give us a call on 07815695970.
