Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
Just been away with my partner to Chamonix and it’s the usual story, you’re in the departure lounge at Geneva airport thinking “I can’t wait a whole year! What, seven quid for a sandwich"
Unfortunately my other half can't get any more time off work and so I have been reading through the posts looking for possible ski buddies/groups.
It then occurred to me that I can’t be the only one in this position and rather than tag along with a party that’s one man down, why not try and organise a trip made up of single skiers/boarders.
I'm thinking the second half of March for a week, I'm flexible but ideally a catered chalet not too far from a lift, somewhere with snow is always useful, not too quiet, not to busy, certainly not too expensive. It’s probably politically incorrect but I think groups work better if of similar ability. I have been skiing for ten years and managed not to pick up any technical skills apart from skiing at warp speed. I am happy to do all the leg work to find something that ticks all the boxes.
Any questions here or pm me
John

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

johnjeff, If i were you I'd remove your email address and communicate via a pm. . .
If you decide on Chamonix again, I'm already there solo 10-12 March and looking for ski buddies.

johnjeff, have you seen the UCPA thread? Not sure how old you are or what you're looking for but it's a v sociable place and great for single skiers.

Hi John,
Second half of March would be good for me, Cheap is also good although that would need some defining - to me a cheap last minute deal would be in the £2xx mark for a catered chalet/hotel including flights and transfers although i'd probably stretch to £350 (assuming £200 for a lift pass in many resorts) as i'm off to Val D'Isere in April.
Regards,
Tony

suggest Redpoint - good for solo ski holidays - they specialise in solo weeks and include guiding...
check our redpoint.co.uk
I have used them before and they also do all the usuals - in Zillertal Austria
