 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm heading to Chamonix over Easter, having found a fairly cheap deal (for a peak week anyway), which allows 4 days of skiing yet no need to take a day off work. As I'll be on my own, was wondering if any SnowHeads will be around that week to meet up for a beer/some dinner in the evening at all? - I'll be there from Good Friday to Easter Monday.
Alternatively, if anyone fancies 4 days of skiing over Easter, I think the company I booked with (ski weekends) has a few rooms left. It cost me £425 for travel and B&B, though this includes single supplement, I think it was £325per person if you're sharing. Not too bad for Easter skiing. Downside is that travel is via coach (which I swore I'd never do again, but flights were much more pricey and would have required time off work). Departure is London Victoria at 5pm on the Thursday and return is on the Tuesday morning at 9.30am - Banking on the bus not being late, as I'm already going to have to explain to my boss why I'm slightly late to work, exhausted having slept on a bus, probably not showered, carrying/wearing ski gear...

ww166no, I've booked into 2 days guiding and 2 days touring (fairly introductory as I won't have done touring at all before), so pretty full up on the skiing front - haven't been away completely on my own before so was a bit keen on ensuring there'd be some good skiing lined up! Thanks for the offer though! I'm assuming that's a bar there somewhere...sorry, my first trip to Chamonix!

snowgirl123, good for you. If you'd like to spread the cost of the guiding, we'd gladly join in, but you're prob joining a group? We can get down pretty much most things. . . Chambre Neuf is the no 1 early evening bar, ideal if you're 21 - 1904 is better if you feel the need to hear the person you're talking to. . . just left there in fact!

ww166no, yeah, have joined a group, the cost of a private guide for a day would have been a bit prohibitive! I'm doing a day tour with a group on the Sun and a group guiding session on the Monday, can let you know the details if you're interested in joining a group (though I'll have only done a week and a bit of just off-piste before so wouldn't want to hold you up)? 1904 sounds good to me!! Saturday evening after the lifts close? Will PM my mobile number so it makes it easier to meet up.

Hi Snowgirl, I've joined another group for the previous week but we will still be there for a good night out on Friday 2nd so you're more than welcome to join us for some drinks. The group is saying at the UCPA and bar 2 we don't know each other yet so should be interesting!  and first time to Chamonix too.

Snowgirl, thanks you too. Sounds like a great place if you're on you're own, can't wait. We'll have to arrange meet up. There's definitely a couple of girls in group who have been before so should have some good info to share! l8r
