 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey guys. Just thought id put this out there.
Im an 18 year old guy and i started skiing in 2009.
I am obsessed with it and its all i think about ! LOL.
I do part time college which i hardly ever go to so i am available to ski ANY DATE.
If anyone is organising any trips and need more people to come along, i will go anywhere. Preferably France but its not important. AS LONG AS THERE IS SNOW 
Being and 18 year old student i cant exactly spend £1000 on every holliday, so if anyone is organising cheap trips count me in.
I can get trains to any airport in england (have a railcard)
sa1nt3r@hotmail.co.uk if you would like to contact me.
(I hope im allowed to post stuff like this, im new to snowheads)

Hey Sainter,
If you can get away early, I'm going away with a small groups / solos company to Kaprun. 24th of November for 4 days. Apparently its been dropped to £285 now and £80 for the flight. Looks really good, never used them before but hear good things!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Sainter, Your problem is solved.

As the membership for the coming 2010/11 season is full and now closed you would have to go between Mondays and Fridays as weekends are for members only.
It will cost you £20 per day and You will also need to bring your own gear, snacks/drinks,etc.
If you take the Hexham route to 'Alston' then you are perfectly placed to visit another skiing venue at 'Yad Moss' www.yadmoss.co.uk
I can reccommend a good B&B (which costs £28 for a single room) in Alston called the 'Victoria Inn' and parking is across the road.

So if you need a Snow 'Fix' before, after or instead of your wish list ski trip then propper skiing on snow doesn't come any cheaper or nearer to you than this.

cc_7up, WOW, its only a 1hour drive from my house to the weardale place! No need for a hotel.

donovan7405, I am really looking forward to your trip ! I have just gone and got my bike out of the garage, its brand new, i just never used it. So im riding around trying to get some exercise in before i go!
8811513, I am going to wait till after donovons ski trip in december before i book any more. The reason is that i have m.e/cfs and i have no idea if im going to be able to manage long hollidays. If i find out i can maybe i can book late.
philmisteruk, Sigh,, i was about to say, omg that sounds a good idea, then i just went dowstairs to put my pizza box in the bin, didnt turn the light on, Cracked my DAMN BIG TOES NAIL IN HALF ! Its split off completely half way down, which i assume is going to kill when wearing ski boots. If it is manageable i will get back to you.
Phil any chance you can email me sa1nt3r@hotmail.co.uk (as soon as i know if im good enough to go or not then i can let u know on there)
Just some quick questions, Which airport are you flying from? Id have to get a train down there.
Also, do you know what its like for ski rentals down there (price)? I have just got some K2 Skis but they are a christmass present so i cant have them yet (im not 5 any more lol)
Oh got to go, im being shouted at for leaving blood on the kitchen floor !

Membership costs are £35 annual membership + £20 for a new member fee = £55 .
When you have your Membership card then there is nothing more to pay when you want to visit the WSC slopes.
Check the WSC website (Membership) for more information, especially the location section which gives sound advice about driving tips and essential equipment nessary for getting to/from there.
Non-members can only ski on week days and it costs £20 per day from the bottom poma tow 'Box office' hut.
Weekends are for members only.

How many weeks was it open for last year?

Lots.
Spend a while on the website and all info' will be revealed and in fairness give the 'Yad Moss' site a good look-see too.
Be ready at both areas to ride their 'fast take off 'Poma Tows.

cc_7up, Im really sad that i found out about this too late ! I only live an hour away and i would be going several times a week !
What month did the membership close?

Check the website out again-Thoroughly.
Perhaps they could create a mid week only membership for the many people who missed the full membership deadline and those that also would prefer to ski in the quieter midweek days?
With this in mind,I have emailed the idea to Steve Lumb of the WSC.
