 Poster: A snowHead
|
That's my kit washed and put away after a fine week in Cervinia, but I am suffering from withdrawal pains and can't bear the thought that my season is over.
So ...... looking at a mid-April DIY to the Alps. I can't do a standard Sat or Sun transfer and am looking at Mon 17, Tue 18 or Wed 19 departure to Geneva and a high resort for 7 nights.
Firstly any thoughts on accommodation for a singleton at that time somewhere snowsure (Val d'Isère, Tignes, Val Thorens come to mind)?
Secondly, any Snowheads going to be around at that time who might want to join up with a "mature" but still pretty active and expert skier (that's right I have my bus-pass but don't yet have zimmer fitted with runners)?

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

Thanks anarchicsaltire, I hadn't seen that thread. I will look into that possibility
lynseyf You are right of course, and simply hauling the caravan up to Aviemore for a few days is one of the options but depends on how the snow holds out. Looking quite good at the moment.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

ccl, No need to make whole weekend of it. We daytrip to Glenshee, Glencoe and Cairngorm quite happily from Edinburgh. Have done Nevis and the Lecht but they are a bit far. Sunnyside is holding up quite nicely at Glenshee, Cairnwell side not so well. Glas Maol, Coire Fionn and Meal Odhar were all lovely the last time I was there. Not been at Cairngorm or Glencoe for a bit will head to one of them this weekend.

Thanks Rookiemark. I'll look into that as well as the Snowheads thing anarchicsaltire has linked to.
I don't do day trips these days lynseyf. Used to regularly but these days I don't reckon on being awake enough for the trip home at night. But I can put a few days together at that time so maybe it will be Cairngorm. I must admit though that having grown up in Scottish skiing and all that goes with it, if a chance of going to the Alps comes up, I'll go for that.
