Are you planning a trip around New Year and have space for one more? I'm a 40 year old boarder, female, looking for a group to tag along with as my mates are all being lame this year. Ideally a catered chalet (and somewhere high up!) and flying from the South/South West. Am happy to share a room. Thanks!

Hi,
If you don't find anyone to share with why not drop us a line - details are in the tag line? We have a few single rooms so no single supplements, and as a big chalet we tend to have a few groups over new year so plenty of chance to meet people . .
Hope that helps?

I'm also looking to ski anywhere for that time.
Car share to the alps? Recon it's about £200 each way all in.
Although I'll be staying out there for the week after as well, in deux alpes. Could drop you back at an airport?
PM me or email at spikiehedgehog [at] yahoo.co.uk.

The coach really is the cheapest option at that time of year unless you have loads of airmiles - I've done it a few times over the Xmas / New Year period due to the extortionate cost of flights and its not as bad as it sounds. The only other way I've kept the travel cost down is to book a flight and transfer with YSE Ski - only useful for Val D'isere and doesn't leave til the Sunday morning so you'll need somewhere to stay on the Saturday night at the end of your week. Hope you manage tos ort something out. If you decide to do it use the discount code SP2010 on the Action Outdoors website for £10 off your booking.

orbbital, don't fancy the coach ride? Just think, many of the richest and most upmarket skiers will be driving themselves to the Alps in their Chelsea Tractors, and having to do all the driving themselves. The coach will probably get there quicker and you might even get a film. I drove myself back yesterday - it took forever, I had to lash up a set of chains to get out of the snow AND I had to stay awake the whole way. Don't be a wimp.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

A friend and I are heading out to Flaine UCPA on the 26th, coming back on the 1st. I'd usually go for the coach but friend isn't really up for it so flying out v early on the 26th and planning to be on the slopes ASAP. We did book flights pretty early though and because of the antisocial times they weren't too bad. I'm a UCPA fan, been a fair few times and it's always been awesome. Never to Flaine though so this ones all new. Come to Flaine!!

Hi all I have a couple of SC appartments booked from the 26th - 2nd in Andorra, Soldeu if anyone fancies it? They are about €1200 I think and there are 7 of us but we could I think but up 3 more. The first place is 6-8 and the second place is only a 4 so be about €200-300.
All of us are pretty beginner/intermediates, 23-31 mix of m&f all from Essex. Not sure how many flights are left with Easy jet but they were £200 flying from Luton to Barcelona and then getting the bus (fingers crossed!) to Andorra.
Let me know if you are interested.
Pete

Vicky, I've been to the UCPA in Flaine a few years ago so was going to go elsewhere, but I might be tempted to go back... the skiing/boarding's pretty good, but the resort itself bit of a concrete monrosity. Not the sort of place you would see in postcards.. They had a brilliant Rolling Stones cover band in one of the bars when we were there.. It's kinda weird hearing the Stones break in French between songs. Did you book with UCPA directly or through Action Outdoors?
Pete, I'e got another trip booked in March to Andorra, so dont want to go there twice in a season. Thanks for the offer though!

Hiya
We booked through Action Outdoors, they're doing a leave before christmas day thing and travel on the coach. Alternatively you can have a small amount of money off the price and travel out to get there on the 26th instead which is what we did.
Can't wait!!

Cool, thanks Vicky. I'm probably going to book through them too. Bizarrely I think I'm willing to suffer the coach trip to get an extra day on the slopes. I'll keep you posted if I decide to go back to Flaine..
Cheers,
Paul
