Erm, there's no law that says single people (or widowed/divorced for that matter) can only ski with other single people.

0556, welcome and condolences.
Coupla things.
While it's nice to go with other people, don't write off travelling solo. You might go out singley, but you're seldom 'alone' long on a sliding trip. TO's and shared chalets spring to mind, but are not the only options.
And even if you think Cham is the dogs, I wouldn't restrict myself to just there.
FWIW, I don't get the 'Feb is pants' crack, either?

OK, perhaps overstated.... School holidays [in France] = crowded slopes, numpties, etc... it's better if you can avoid February if you can, IMHO.

Yes, but there's almost two weeks of February before the school holidays begin.

My mistake. Paris starts on 12th Feb next year - so does UK half term by the looks of it, so Feb will be fine. Sorry to go off at a tangent.

If you are not fixed on Cham but are looking to ski and apres ski hard then Austria (e.g. St Anton, Ischgl, Saalbach, Sölden etc) might suit you better. The men to women ratio is around 10 to 1 in St Anton.

It means 10 men for every 1 woman. But most are probably in the toyboy - or even foetus - age group

Like they say in Alaska, the odds are good, but the goods are odd.
Assuming you're not a sock, welcome.

0556, if you're thinking a ski holiday is somewhere to pull, then don't. Single people are rare and almost always under 30. Personally I've never liked the idea of organised 'singles' holidays, so I have always done my own thing. In doing so I have met a fabulous bunch of ski buddies whom I now meet up and ski with every year. Not to mention the great folk on here to meet up and ski with. Maybe a bash would work for you. But don't discount going solo and joining ski guiding days either.

I think the OP has a first language other than English. it's hard to find the right register in a foreign language. So, be kind to give the benefit of the doubt, perhaps?

0556, you could dare I say it look at the SCGB- they run great holidays with on / off piste guiding and tuition. I'm sure you'll meet like minded people and have a great time.

0556, you would have a great time on the S8BB (the snowheads birthday bash). with so many solo skiers you will always find someone who you get on with very well. ... and most are that sort of age.

I often go skiing by myself as my wife does not ski. Unfortunately friends either cannot afford or have young children. I did a big search last month to identify a company that would not charge me the earth. Eventually settled on Inghams in Meribel. They have ski leading and I am taking the opportunity to take some clinics with New Generation.
However Crystal has some rooms in Les Deux Alpes. Most of the smaller companies charge a premium. However Action Outdoor may be a good option - I imagine there will be a lot of singles.
You will always meet people on a ski holiday unless there is something odd with your personality/personal habits. I also like it a I can ski like a b...ard and crash out with a book in the eveing without the pressure of going out on the 'pop'.
